You may have a new question coming up and this is one that is likely on every viewer's mind- What is his true form? That remains a real mystery as to what's going to come up!

Even with this ability, the star of the show, Charlie Vickers, who plays Sauron on "The Rings of Power," makes a big point about not overplaying that role. "Sauron" will only shift if it is going to make his goal more tangible, something Vickers talked about in a recent interview with Decider!

You might be asking why. But the character is only getting more powerful as the show continues. In fact, this will play out when Sauron arrives on Númenor!

To do this, he'll need to do something sneaky!

The main element in his success may just be making himself seem far from intimidating. He has to hide! The character of Sauron may find he needs to put on a guise to accomplish his mission and deceive those in the midst of it all!

It's as if Vickers knows everything about the character and what "Sauron" is truly capable of doing! He's got this gift to use these shapeshifting techniques to bring chaos but with each move, the character grows in strength.

A New Sauron For A New Era:

With all the speculation! Vickers does have the answers!

Vickers makes a powerful point to fans.
The show will follow the pattern of how Sauron worked and continues to be a powerful figure!

There's something pretty interesting in that as he worked, to manipulate people in season 1, this was what ultimately allowed him to have a lot of power and gain the trust of a leading figure like Galadriel.

As for his success in the next season. That strategy, being super forceful, isn't going to win everyone's loyalty, so it turns out the main tactic he'll lean into will be his awesome, mind-altering abilities that Vickers so expertly explained!

It might look like this power just came out of nowhere but Sauron's path to power is not all that mysterious!

"Sauron" had some power over the Orcs in "The Rings of Power" season 1.

This time it was his plan of attack. Vickers even said his identity was the secret ingredient! With a compelling, powerful presence. It was the same game in season 2 and season 3 may even offer up more twists and tricks to those watching with anticipation!
