The Nazgul Before The Lord of the Rings, Explained.

The Nazgul Before The Lord of the Rings, Explained.
The Nazgul were some of the most important characters in The Lord of the Rings, but who were they before they fell to Sauron's corruption?
The Nazgul, or Ringwraiths in the Common Speech, were some of the most memorable antagonists in The Lord of the Rings. As explained in both J. R. R. Tolkien's novel and Peter Jackson's film adaptations, Sauron gave nine magical rings to the race of Men. These Rings of Power corrupted their wearers, thus bending them to Sauron's will and transforming them into invisible, undead monsters. Despite their importance in the story, neither the novel nor the films offered much information about who the Nazgul used to be.
In Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Aragorn said that the Nazgul were "Kings of Men" before Sauron's rings corrupted them. However, this was not the case in the novel. They must have been somewhat important figures for Sauron to notice them and deem them worthy minions, but Tolkien never specified that they were kings. In the section "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age" from The Silmarillion, Tolkien explained that some of the future Nazgul became kings after receiving their Rings of Power, but not all of them: "Those who used the Nine Rings became mighty in their day, kings, sorcerers, and warriors of old." So who were these mighty characters?
