I haven't got RotK in English, so I can't give any quotes, but I think they say he was a Black Numenorean, so he was probably one of the Corsairs of Umbar.

He was indeed a Black Numenorean. He worshipped Sauron during the Dark Years, and entered his service. I don't know what happened between the first downfall of Sauron and the War of the Ring to him.

The mouth of sauron didn't live in that age. He is human and can't live that long. He entered Sauron's service in the third age. It's most definetly a corsair from umbar and he worked his way up. Maybe not completely pure, but most definetly a black numenorean.

The Mouth of Sauron was a human, Black Numenorean, most likely a Corsair of Umbar. He was mortal, so he was probably an Corsair of high rank offered the job by Sauron. In one of the tales (I don't remember which or where) it is mentioned that, if Sauron had won the War of the Ring, this Black Numenorean would've been given regency over the defeated western lands. In fact, Sauron would've used this ambassador to replace Saruman, ruling from a rebuilt Isengard in his stead. He was doing this purely for profit. I unfortunately do not have any quotes that can confirm these facts.

He didn't live that long. He was born in the late Third Age, probably, and lived as long as any normal man. No magic involved.

With all of these unsubstantiated opinions, I am moving this topic to Novices and Newcomers, where it belongs.

Everything there is to know about the Mouth of Sauron for the purposes of this thread is in The Return of the King. The following passage from The Black Gate Opens ought to make the whole situation painfully clear.
