Ar-Pharazôn

Ar-Pharazôn was born in the Second Age (sources note birth in 3118 S.A. in some chronologies) as a scion of Númenórean nobility, son of Gimilkhad and nephew of Tar‑Palantir. He rose to prominence as leader of the King's Men before taking the throne as the twenty-fifth and final King of Númenor. During his reign he presided over the realm's estrangement from the Valar, accepted Sauron's counsel as his principal adviser, dismissed opponents such as Amandil from his council, and ultimately led Númenor to attempt the assault on Valinor that resulted in the island's destruction and the death or diaspora of most Númenóreans.

Canonical texts and the cited secondary summaries provide no detailed physical description of Ar-Pharazôn's personal features. He is identified and remembered by office and genealogy (son of Gimilkhad, nephew of Tar‑Palantir), by regnal styling (had he accepted a Quenya form he would have ruled as Tar‑Calion), and by his deeds and royal authority as King of Númenor rather than by specific bodily characteristics or attire in the supplied sources.

Ar-Pharazôn possesses no supernatural powers in the sources; his 'abilities' are political and military: leadership of the King's Men, command of Númenórean naval and military power, the authority to shape policy for the island kingdom, and the charisma or force to marshal a large portion of the populace toward rebellion. He is depicted as susceptible to Sauron's persuasion and counsel, which is the primary supernatural influence that drives the catastrophic decisions of his reign.
