: 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? : Makes sense, except that Sauron was off stage most of the Third Age, so why would he need a mouth. Wouldn't at all when he was busy reconstructing himself, and then hunting around for a base from which to make mischief. When passing himself off as just another sorceror, the Necromancer, what role would a herald serve. No, there probably was only one MOS, and he took the job shortly after Sauron made his official reappearance, and is probably no older than Aragorn. Perhaps there was another, earlier Mouth? In the Second Age? And Gondorians thought they were the same?
