The Black Riders (known just as well as the Nazgul) of Mordor are the greatest servants of Sauron - they are hideous wraiths enslaved to the power of the One Ring, which they are always seeking.
In the two games preceding The Rise of the Witch-king, the Nazgul are individual heroes. (In The Battle for Middle-earth II, only three are available at a time.)
