Ar-Pharaz�n was the nephew of King Tar-Palantir and husband of Tar-Palantir's daughter, M�riel. M�riel was the rightful heir to the throne of N�menor, but Ar-Pharaz�n usurped her throne.
He attacked Mordor and brought Sauron back as a hostage to his kingdom, but Sauron was able to corrupt Ar-Pharaz�n and convinced him to attack Valinor. In retribution, the Valar sank N�menor beneath the ocean.
