[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Episode 5, “Partings.”] We’re more than halfway through The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, and new characters are still being revealed. Episode 5 of the Prime Video series at last introduced the mysterious hooded people clad in white robes seen in the trailers. “Partings” does not reveal their identity just yet. Rather, they appear in one short scene inspecting a piece of land. But Tolkien fans have been speculating about their identity since the enigmatic group flashed across our screens this summer. The predominant theory about The Rings of Powers‘ white-hooded figures is that they are part of the Cult of Melkor sent to the area by Sauron. Melkor is one of Morgoth’s monikers — the villain vanquished in the war in the First Age of Middle-earth and Sauron’s mentor. The Cult has a large presence in the Second Age.
