There are a wealth of enigmatic figures in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As if the likes of the roguish Southlander named Halbrand<\/a> (Charlie Vickers) and the dark elf named Adar<\/a> (Joseph Mawle) were not enough, one at the centre of many theories is the meteor man himself, The Stranger<\/a> (Daniel Weyman).<\/p>\n

However, the fourth episode of the Amazon Prime Video<\/a> series introduced a new trio of characters who appear to be tracking down whoever crashed into Middle-Earth in the meteor.<\/p>\n

In the credits, their leader is credited as The Dweller, but who exactly are they?<\/p>\n

**Spoilers and speculation for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power**<\/strong><\/p>

Who is The Dweller seeking The Stranger in The Rings of Power?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Dweller is a mysterious figure pursuing the equally enigmatic figure credited as \u201cThe Stranger\u201d who crashed into Middle-Earth as a meteor in the first episode.<\/p>\n

Alongside their comrades The Nomad (Edith Poor) and The Ascetic (Kali Kopae), The Dweller first appears in the fifth episode of the series, titled \u2018Partings\u2019.<\/p>\n

The trio observe the crater in Rhovanion where The Stranger had crashed from a hilltop before The Dweller goes down to inspect the crater closer.<\/p>\n

When the figure first appeared in the trailers for the series, many had assumed that the character was the Dark Lord himself, Sauron<\/a>, and had been misidentified as being played by actor Anson Boon.<\/p>\n

Executive producer Lindsey Weber later told TIME<\/a> that Bridie Sisson was the person portraying this character.<\/p>\n

Weber commented: \u201cWe are enjoying all the speculation online and can tell you Bridie Sisson is an incredible actor.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also thought fans might like to know that her character is travelling from far to the east\u2014from the lands of Rh\u00fbn\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Easterlings dwell from the land of Rh\u00fbn and, in Tolkien lore, has been known to have armies and individuals who have allied with Sauron in the past.<\/p>\n

In which case, many would assume that perhaps The Dweller is a servant of Sauron and they are seeking The Stranger for him.<\/p>\n

Could The Stranger be Sauron himself, or is he a threat the Dark Lord needs to deal with?<\/p>\n

Who portrays The Dweller in The Rings of Power?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
