Thankfully, he had a familiar face to act against.

They were blasting this white ash all over us, it was amazing.
The question is, if Saurons not running Mordor, then wheres it going?
Payne, co-showrunner ofThe Rings of Power, tells EW.
Adar has a really exciting arc ahead thats probably going places you arent expecting.
He leaves season 1 with a huge amount of anger towards Adar and wants to get retribution.
But he has a level of power that someone like Adar cant comprehend clearly.
Their relationship is [a] really cool and complex part of season 2.
