Do You Get to Fight Sauron Again in Shadows of War
Celebrimbor is one of the 2 actor-controlled protagonists in Heart-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Middle-earth: Shadow of War, alongside Talion, with whom he now shares a body.
At the first of the game, after the slaughter at the Black Gate, Celebrimbor is joined with Talion equally a vessel to take revenge. He does non tell Talion this, instead saying that they are bound together by a expletive and that the Blackness Mitt must be killed for it to be broken. Throughout the game, he and Talion seek to notice out his identity, attempting to runway down Gollum in order to practice so.
One time they observe his identity, Celebrimbor decides to keep increasing his power, with the aim of destroying the Dark Lord Sauron.
Background
Celebrimbor was a Ñoldorin prince, last of the Firm of Fëanor left in Middle-earth, ruler of the Second Age realm of Eregion, and the forger of the Rings of Power. He was the son of Curufin, fifth son of Fëanor and Nerdanel.
Celebrimbor approached by Annatar (Sauron's fair form).
Celebrimbor settled into Eregion during the 2nd Historic period, and in SA 1500, Sauron befriended him, claiming to be sent down by the Valar as an emissary, presenting Celebrimbor with Turánn, an exquisitely crafted mithril hammer, much to Celebrimbor's amazement and gratitude, maxim to Sauron that "it is so fine a souvenir." Sauron then took control of the Eregion smiths and, side by side with Celebrimbor, instructed them to craft a prepare of rings, which would eventually get the Rings of Power. They were all deceived however, as in hole-and-corner Sauron created the nigh powerful of them all, the I Band, which was designed to subordinate the volition of the costless people's to Sauron'south own, thus delivering him sole dominion of Middle Earth.
Celebrimbor was the one to forge some of the most powerful of the 20 Rings, simply weaker to Sauron's very own. These were the rings of the Elves: Vilya, Narya and Nenya. Unable to lay his hands on them, Sauron attacked Eregion, destroying the land and capturing Celebrimbor, putting him under extreme torment until he disclosed the whereabouts of the lesser rings and, in the game's canon, perfecting the One by masking its power and giving information technology a will of its own. But Celebrimbor refused to disclose the locations of the Elvish rings, and deceived Sauron, taking the 1 every bit his own and using it to raise an ground forces of Uruks, with the ultimate goal of destroying Sauron and avenging his family, whom he idea slain.
Celebrimbor was successful in this, and eventually came to boxing with Sauron himself, who revealed that Celebrimbor's family unit were still very much alive. Enraged, Celebrimbor used the power of the Ring to teleport through the battleground and face Sauron direct, where he was able to knock the Dark Lord downwards. As he raised his sword to deliver the killing blow however, the Ring, recognizing that its true master was in peril, slipped from Celebrimbor'due south finger and returned to Sauron. With this, Celebrimbor barbarous to his knees and dropped his sword, accepting defeat. He was so chained and forced to watch Sauron slay his family unit, before brutally beating him to death with his own mithril hammer.
This acquired Celebrimbor to get a Wraith, a spirit of vengeance, forsaking the Halls of Mandos and dooming himself to an eternity in Mordor until the Ane Ring was destroyed. Hundreds of years subsequently, during the Third Age, he witnessed the ritual murder of Talion, and seized the opportunity past possessing the Ranger's torso, putting his long awaited revenge into move.
Shadow of Mordor
Information technology is revealed later on that Celebrimbor was not, in truth, immediately killed at the hands of Sauron, afterwards the Dark Lord's assault on Eregion, simply instead brought to Mordor to perfect the 1 Band. It is here that Celebrimbor imbues the ring with a "mind of its own". Even so, Celebrimbor, tempted past the power of the Band, at the last moment, steals information technology from Sauron, slipping into the Wraith world to escape.
Celebrimbor, corrupted by the power of the Ring and adamant to now conquer Mordor, builds an army of Uruks inside Sauron's own to friction match him. The war between the two progresses, until finally, the two encounter, Sauron actually taking concrete form to do then. Celebrimbor uses the ring to best Sauron in unmarried combat, having nearly mastered its powers. However, at the last moment, before the killing blow, the Ring being a part of Sauron slips off of Celebrimbor's finger and onto Sauron's; The Ring is itself a function of the Night Lord's ain power, therefore it answers only to him. With the power of the One Ring his once again, Sauron takes Celebrimbor and his surviving family convict.
Following this, Sauron proceeds to slaughter Celebrimbor'southward wife and daughter equally vengeance, while the tortured Elf is forced to picket. Once both lay dead, Sauron takes his fair class, then uses Celebrimbor's ain smithing hammer, the one Sauron gave to him equally a gift, to viciously bludgeon him, finally using the pick side to terminate him off. It is at this signal Celebrimbor becomes a Wraith, destined to exist so until such a time when he tin once more boxing Sauron. Like Sauron himself, Celebrimbor has his fate bound to that of the Ring. Thus, until such time that the One Band is unmade, Celebrimbor'southward spirit is unable to depart for the Halls of Waiting in Valinor, every bit the souls of all deceased Elves should.
During his initial times sharing Talion's body, Celebrimbor feigns apparent amnesia of his life before becoming a Wraith, just regaining memories with Talion's acquisition of several artifacts of Celebrimbor'due south past: his pendant, crown, and the hammer and chisel he used to forge the Rings, merely in reality its all a ploy to proceeds more ability. During this, he seemingly gains a follower in the creature Gollum, him condign a fanatic upon learning that his 'Brilliant Primary' forged the 'Precious'.
After Talion'southward confrontation, and assassination of the Hammer of Sauron, Celebrimbor chides him for interim hastily, citing the Hammer's likely noesis of his boyfriend Black Captains. Talion countered by request the Wraith what he would have done if confronted by the one who killed his own family. After the pair'due south first meeting with Lithariel, Celebrimbor assures Talion that they will observe peace when the battle is over.
Later, during their confrontation with the Tower of Sauron in Ered Glamhoth, he reveals to Talion that he was non in fact cursed alongside Celebrimbor, but in fact was partially possessed by the Wraith, allowing him to alive where death should take taken him. After the Belfry's fall, Talion confronts Celebrimbor, who states his belief that Talion would take wanted revenge on his family'southward killers, and so gave him the ways to exercise so by possessing him. He confirms that he can leave Talion to die, but tin can simply depart permanently with the decease of the Black Hand.
After the Black Hand is slain at the peak of the Blackness Gate, Talion and Celebrimbor are finally allowed to rest in peace. However, they both choose instead non to depart the living world, instead deciding to continue growing their power, and oppose Sauron'south efforts of conquest in Mordor.
Shadow of War
In an unknown amount of time, Talion and Celebrimbor forged a new ring to claiming Sauron'due south power and upon completion the ii were separated. Celebrimbor was held confronting his will past Shelob, who took the form of a human adult female, and Talion managed to negotiate his freedom at the cost of the New Ring - leaving the two in a difficult position. Shelob however showed them distant events and a new path. Heading to help a struggling Gondorian troop at Minas Ithil, who were protecting the Palantir, the 2 continued to go dorsum and along to and from Shelob for her vision. They ordinarily argued over the best course of activity, Celebrimbor desiring to but reclaim his ring, whilst Talion wanted to defend Minas Ithil from the Orc hordes. Eventually, despite their efforts, the Witch King and his young man Nazgûl managed to seize Minas Ithil and the Palantir for Sauron, fifty-fifty nearly challenge and corrupting Talion before an Elven assassin named Eltariel, who claimed to be the Bract of Galadriel, intervened, using Galadriel's Light to protect Talion earlier killing him to terminate the Ringwraiths' challenge him.
Shortly later being saved by Eltariel, Celebrimbor and Talion rushed to Shelob's cavern, arriving just as the Nazgûl were launching an attack to secure Celebrimbor's New Ring on orders from Sauron. With Eltariel's assist they forced the Nazgûl from Shelob's cave, before she granted them one final vision - the ii leading their army against the Nighttime Lord - before she returned the New Ring to them and disappeared. With the Ring returned and their path made clear, Talion and Celebrimbor headed for new lands to begin building their army as they prepared to accept on Sauron and salve Middle-Earth.
Along the way, they confront off several times against a number of different Nazgûl, including Helm Hammerhead when he attempts to reclaim a fortress in the icy region of Seregost that Talion and Celebrimbor had seized before. Using a variety of beasts that dwell within Mordor including Drakes and Gruags, the once great general Suladân as well attempts to reclaim Talion and Celebrimbor's newly-claimed fortress. When they banish Hammerhead, they meet a vision of the haunting actions the power of the Rings made them take. Talion's anger at Celebrimbor is replaced by fear, when, instead of Celebrimbor accepting blame for forging the New Ring, Celebrimbor points out that they both of them forged the Ring. Subsequently the fall of Suladân, they return to Minas Ithil, now renamed Minas Morgul, and Isildur during an investigation of some haunted ruins in the peppery region of Gorgoroth.
Eventually after securing the four fortresses of Mordor and conquering the surrounding regions of Seregost, Nurnen, and Gorgoroth, Talion and Celebrimbor, aslope Eltariel decide to lay seige to Barad-Dur and completely claim Mordor for themselves. During their attack, they face off ane last time against the necromancer, Isildur who tries to concord them dorsum. Afterwards besting Isildur a second time, Talion and Celebrimbor are granted vision and saw Isildur's path up until he was revived and enslaved by Sauron.
Celebrimbor manages to briefly dominate the ringwraith, breaking Sauron's agree and causing the ring of power he wore to slip from his finger, unbeknown-est to the wraith and Eltariel. Talion's however disagrees with Celebrimbor's plan to dominate the Ringwraith and prolong his suffering, and confronting Celebrimbor's wishes, gratuitous'south Isildur past killing him with his sword, ending his life and allowing him to die once and for all.
Celebrimbor, outraged at Talion's decision to kill the Nazgûl, berates him for killing Isildur, telling him that the Ringwraith was not his to release, causing Talion to rebuke him, telling him that the Nazgûl are not Celebrimbor's to enslave, argue before Eltariel points out how Celebrimbor managed to dominate the Nazgûl, at which point Celebrimbor reveals his programme - to dominate Sauron and claim all his armies for himself, and conquer Eye-Globe.
Talion furiously objects to this idea, refusing to trade 1 Dark Lord for another, angrily yelling about how this was not what he had been fighting for, before Eltariel reminds him that he was not the only one fighting. Celebrimbor tells him that this is not most either of the two'south vengeance, but virtually restoring social club to Mordor, and all Center-Globe, before he reveals that he doesn't even need the ranger and turns effectually, offer the band he and Talion had forged to Eltariel, convincing her that together they can finish what their people started many years ago.
Eltariel takes the band places it on her finger, reopening Talion's old wounds that he gained after start being spiritually sacrificed past the Black Captains when they outset tried to bring back Celebrimbor, causing the ranger to collapse whilst Celebrimbor and Eltariel depart for Barad-dûr, leaving the ranger for dead.
The new pairing climb to Sauron's tower and engage him in combat - with the Dark Lord actualization in both fair and true grade. Celebrimbor manages to briefly proceeds the upper mitt in their dual, forcing Sauron to his knees as Celebrimbor and Eltarial endeavor to dominate him.
However, in a moment reminiscent of Isildur's own final stand against Sauron, the Dark Lord surprises Celebrimbor by resisting the effects of domination as Celebrimbor releases him from his grip, quickly severing 2 of Eltarial'due south finger including the one on which she wore The New Ring, with a dagger. This later on separated both the Ring from Eltariel, and Celebrimbor from his host, leaving him vulnerable earlier Sauron proceeded to merge with the Wraith and the 2 go ane, creating the Flaming Eye and trapping the two "Lords" in a "prison of perpetual war" where their spirits continued to battle for dominance.
It would not be until the stop of The War of the Ring that Celebrimbor would become gratuitous from Sauron. As the 1 Ring was destroyed and Sauron'due south spirit with it, Celebrimbor broke free and flew from Barad Dur in an orb of blueish light. Immediately later condign costless of Sauron, Celebrimbor began searching for the New Ring, that was still in Eltariel's keeping. Having witnessed Celebrimbor'due south escape and felt him calling out to the ring, Eltariel vowed to follow the call to information technology'south source and find the ringmaker.
