..aside from perhaps one or two other insignificant individuals.
@dennis Uh, I don't see where that states any other important wraiths existing, aside from Gorlim from the Silmarrion. It states quite literally that there is a total of 10 mentioned by Tolkien, and Frodo would've become one but he didn't. I don't see what that proves. >_>
No other evidence of any other Wraiths are recorded as existing in Middle-earth, save for the Ringwraiths,
So that basically covers..everything.
The Dunharrow men were wraiths.
If this Wraith still has the desire for vengeance as the original being did, is it not a resurrection of the dead person Cerebrimbor?
Just because he's possessing a living person doesn't make it any less of a resurrection of his spirit. Especially in this universe where 'life' persists after mortal death in many instances.
No they're not, otherwise I'm sure dennis' list up there or the wiki I'm looking at would say so. Not to mention they don't even resemble the Ring Wraiths in appearance, and in the book they are immaterial and they can't touch anything unlike a wraith which walks around and rides horses and stabs stuff with a sword like a person. :v
Well we know that dead men can't return to life in Middle-Earth, so surely that means that being a wraith is somehow different from being brought back to life, or maybe Tolkien's definition of 'brought back to life' is different from ours somehow (can't imagine what that would imply)..
And it wasn't his possession of Talion that made him become a wraith or what makes him undead, which is sort of what it sounds like when you put it that way. I'm pretty sure he can exist outside of Tallion since he's been a wraith for hundreds of years by the time they're thrown together. Tallion was going to die and then he was possessed by Celebrimbor for some yet-to-be-stated reason which prevented his passing, and at that point they're inhabiting the same body (lord knows
why since a wraith shouldn't need to piggyback some other mortal in order to manifest physically and affect the world, especially one as "powerful" as he).
