"Tower of Sauron" is the name of a villain in the video game Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor[]
The Tower is one of Sauron's Black Captains alongside the Hammer of Sauron and the Black Hand of Sauron. He is one of the most loyal members of the Dark Lord's army, using his towering stature to intimidate both his foes and allies. Once he was a man, but Sauron corrupted him and imprisoned him inside a gruesome set of armor. The Tower grew as his power and evil increased, however, his armor did not. This causes him to experience great pain and loathing for himself, which he thrusts upon his unfortunate victims. The Tower represents Sauron's horrid evil and the many atrocities the Dark Lord has committed. He wields two hook-like axes.
He is later slain by Talion, a Ranger of the Black Gate and the protagonist of the game.
As with the Mouth of Sauron, the Tower's true name is unknown.
