Gen. Grievous1138 (admin) comlink 13:34, February 8, 2016 (UTC) Exactly, give that scrub a mug of elven blood!

He is even refered as "The Greatest Maiar" by Tolkien. I'm going to stop you right there. Eönwë, herald of the Valar, was the mightiest. Sauron was the brightest pupil of Aulë, I'll give you that(the literal brightest was Arien, though), and he was a smith and sorcerer extraordinaire. But to say he's the greatest? No. If Finrod Felagund could take him on and nearly win, and if Lúthien Half-maia could defeat him, he's not the most powerful. Perhaps the most powerful left in the Third Age in Middle-earth, but not the most powerful overall.
