The Mouth is supposed to be a Black Numenorean, a sorcerer who used magic to extend his age from the Second Age to the Third. But it was stated in Akallabeth that the magicians of Numenor tried, unsuccessfully, to extend their lifspans through the use of magic. So it was impossible without the use of a Ring of Power, and in that case the body still decayed or disappeared, as in the Witch-King. So how did the Mouth stay so young and fresh through two ages? My idea is: there was more than one Mouth of Sauron. They acted as the same person, and when it is said that he/they had forgotten his/their name, they had put it behind them and ceased to think of themselves as themselves but as as the last Mouth.What do you all think?
