Tar-Ciryatan was the 12th ruler of Númenor. He ruled for 160 years. "He was a mighty King, but greedy of wealth; he built a great fleet of royal ships, and his servants brought back great store of metals and gems, and oppressed the men of Middle-earth" (p. 221, Unfinished Tales). It was during his reign that the first Shadow upon Númenor settled.
