Iconic Quote
“No man can kill me.”
— The Witch-King of Angmar, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
What Makes Them Great
The Witch-King is the franchise's most imposing physical threat — a wraith-lord whose defeat by Eowyn ('I am no man') is one of the trilogy's most cathartic moments. His design and the Nazgul cry are among the most effective horror elements in fantasy cinema.
The Villain
The Witch-King of Angmar is the most menacing lieutenant villain in fantasy cinema — the lord of the Nazgul, Sauron's chief servant, a wraith-king who rides a fell beast and shatters Gandalf's staff. His flaming sword, his iron crown, and the shrieking cry of the Nazgul are among the most effective villain elements in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. 'No man can kill me' — and no man does.
