Valecarn

The ancient bloodlines of Númenor flow true in the veins of this stern-eyed scholar from Umbar. He spent his youth exploring Umbar’s ancient ruins, and there found lost legacies of the Black Númenoreans. When older, he practiced the arts of sorcery and took the name Valecarn (‘Red Power’), eventually seeking out Saruman and asking for admittance to the Order of Wizards. He was already a gifted magician, and the store of ancient grimoires he brought as gifts won him a place as Saruman’s apprentice. Valecarn is obsessed with sorcery and spells of shadow and illusion. He longs to look into the palantír and gaze upon the past glories of lost Umbar, but Saruman has forbidden it. After twenty years, the White Wizard still refuses to name Valecarn a Wizard, delegating him to lesser tasks. As his patience wanes, Valecarn may act on his own accord. isengard black numenorean umbar sorcerer
