Another one left to my own design as I have already made the only 6 designs they showed in the film with 3 doubled to make the 9.
I chose Gondorian armour as my inspiration for this Wraith though technically he would be Numenorean (Elendil was the first Numenorean King), a race that created Gondor after their island home of Numenor was destroyed when the world changed from a flat disc into a globe.. (yeah gets pretty confusing and weird!), well some of the Numenoreans did, they were called The Faithful and worked with the Elves (who had granted them far longer lives than normal mortals and taller stature, Elendil was 7' tall apparently..in thanks for fighting with them in some war about something at some point..). The other Numenoreans became the Black Numenoreans who despised the Elves for their immortality and chose to worship the 'The Dark' at Sauron's promise that it would provide them power and longer lives; turns out it didn't really as they all got massacred fighting for the Witch King Of Angmar a 100years later although some surviving descendants became the Haradrim.
I kept the wings motif that Gondor Armour uses on everything plus the full plate armour with mail kama/skirt they use. I then went a bit 'Clive Barker' on that foundation so you may see the odd nod to Cenobytes even though Wraith have no 'Flesh to tear apart!'
