Gothmog as Pat - Page 2 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well, I personally think that Gothmog was a man because well it doesn't say, but I think that just fits the role better than an orc or even a Nazgul, because who would've been the commander of Sauron's armies when the Nazgul was away, he most certainly wouldn't trust an orc!

You seem to be under the impression that the WK was away often. It was not so. As far as we know, he permanently stayed in Minas Morgul from TA 2002 till TA 3018. And then Sauron sent him (and the rest of the nazgul) for the Ring - thus the WK was absent from June till November 3018 - only 5 months in a thousand years.
Sauron may have appointed someone as head of the army to replace the WK for these 5 months, but surely before the actual war new arrangements were made.
