@Escapist
quote:
'Sauron certainly knew of some of the other Maiar, but does that mean he knew that they were Maiar? And if he did know that some were definitively Maiar (Balrog) does that mean he knew that all of them were in some part Maiar (wizards being Maiar in the guise of men) but not fully Maiar as they had been known of before?'
One can only guess what Sauron actually knew for sure in his mind but if we take in consideration what is told in the Unfinished Tales that Sauron guessed the coming of the Istari sent as messengers by the Valar and therefore presented himself as one to the Elves of Eregon it is logical to think as he is a Maiar himself, perhaps he fairly knew they were of the kind. That doesn't mean he found out about the five Wizards as soon as they came to Middle-earth. But since Sauron has many spies he may have gathered and pondered informations of strange tales of magical Old Man that dies not in the Third Age and so discover their true nature under their guises and names.
