"He had fared often abroad, as a leader in the wars that the Númenóreans made then in the coastlands of Middle-earth, seeking to extend their dominion over Men; and thus he had won great renown as a captain both by land and by sea."

We do a deep dive into Pharazon's backstory in the books, and compare it to the recent interview with actor Trystan Gravelle published in comicbook.com. Then, we answer the age old question: Do Númenórean kings have beards? And if not, why were they portrayed with facial hair in Jackson's trilogy and now again in the Rings of Power?
