Is it Grishnakh? That's a very clever clue if I remember correctly, that he had a more evil voice, but softer than Ugluk's.

Correct, @Boromir88, it is Grishnákh! Nicely done.

To explain the clue:

" 'That is a very interesting remark,' sneered a voice, softer than the others but more evil.[...]'Who does he think he is, setting up on his own with his filthy white badges? They might agree with me, with Grishnákh their trusted messenger; and I Grishnákh say this: Saruman is a fool, and a dirty treacherous fool. But the Great Eye is on him.' " - The Uruk-Hai, The Two Towers

1. Sort of? This is a surprisingly difficult question to answer actually *sweats* I'm not sure how to clarify, probably best to ask another question
2. The hint does not refer to birth order.
3. I'm pretty sure this person does not have three teeth, if I am wrong I will be horribly ashamed.
4. I suspect some would wince but most would not, if I had to wager.

Yes - it is indeed Ar-Pharazôn!
"At length Ar-Pharazôn listened to this counsel, for he felt the waning of his days and was besotted by the fear of Death. He prepared then the greatest armament that the world had seen, and when all was ready he sounded his trumpets and set sail; and he broke the Ban of the Valar, going up with war to wrest everlasting life from the Lords of the West." (Appendix A, The Return of the King)


The floor is yours, @Aduchil.
