Fourth of the Nazgûl

Indûr was born into the wealthiest family in the republic of Koronandë in Second Age 1955 as Jí Indûr. Becoming a powerful merchant and politician, he feared the growing power of Númenor and its encroachment on his commercial interests in the Bay of Ûsakan. Ships that ordinarily headed to the city Korlan were now heading to the Númenórean colony of Tantûrak. Indûr successfully lobbied for the creation of a central government to oppose the Númenóreans. With support from merchants, warriors, and even the Elves, he seized control and was elected the first King of Korlan in Second Age 1978. Many citizens rejected him however, and for the next 23 years he faced civil rebellion.

In Second Age 2000, the rise of a Magician in Tantûrak led to increased anti-Númenórean sentiment and doomed the rebel cause. The young king hoped to use this to launch a war and unite his people, but a rival's calls to reestablish the Republic led to spontaneous celebrations and riots. Indûr fled east and sought refuge in the tribal land of Mûmakan, where Sauron's agents had been residing.

Sauron saw an opportunity to use the exiled king to advance his goals in the Far South. In Second Age 2001, Sauron gave Indûr a Ring of Power, after which he seized the throne of Mûmakan on behalf of his new master. He adopted the regnal name Jí Amaav II, invoking Amaav, their mythical deity and first king. As the new God-lord, Indûr united the nomadic tribes of Mûmakan. His reign lasted for 1261 years, during which he expanded his empire and subjugated neighbouring lands. He failed to expand westward, where Elves, Númenóreans, and Kirani reigned.

In Second Age 3000, he formed a pact with the Magician of Tantûrak. With the empire's support, Tantûrak declared independence from Númenor. This left Koronandë surrounded by hostile nations, though a lingering jealousy between Tantûrak and Mûmakan prevented its outright conquest.

Indûr's reign was ended when Ar-Pharazôn invaded Middle-earth in Second Age 3262, shattering Mûmakan's empire and forcing Indûr to retreat. He returned to Mordor after the Downfall of Númenor and fought in the War of the Last Alliance. He was defeated with his master and passed into the shadow.

Indûr reappeared around Third Age 1050, spending two centuries regaining his strength. By Third Age 1250, he had successfully manoeuvred his servants to form a coalition of the tribes of Mûmakan, once again stirring them to expansion. In Third Age 1372, his intervention saved the kingdom of Koronandë from defeat at the hands of the Magician of Tantûrak, beginning an era of Mûmakani influence. This era was also marked by ritualistic nocturnal assassinations that earned Indûr the epithet Dawndeath.

He ruled as Jí Amaav III from Third Age 1264 to Third Age 1640, and again as Jí Amaav IV from Third Age 2460 to Third Age 2941. Between his reigns he dwelt in Mordor or Minas Morgul.

During the War of the Ring, Indûr rode with the Black Riders in search of the One Ring. He prepared the Mûmakil assault for the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, later joining the remaining wraiths at the Battle of the Morannon, where he perished with Sauron's defeat.

Beyond a Morgul-knife, the Ringwraith is noted to have possessed the following weapons:

• War-dancer: A scimitar made of white eog, inlaid with ivory. It had a sapphire-tipped pommel.
• Cloud Bow: A lurak-wooden composite bow. A tendon of a fell beast served as its string.
