Melkor is a scheming patsy, a fearful and jealous usurper of the world. He always has his own minions handle the courageous work. He hides and directs and hopes things work out well for him.
Sauron conives a way to keep
Eonwe from taking him prisoner to
Valinor. He wanders
Middle-earth to get a feel for where he can establish a domain from where he can rule it all. He personally treats and teaches with the
Noldor of Eregion, deceitfully weaving his web of
evil through his teachings in Ring making. When he is discovered and his plans concerning control of the Rings fail, Sauron personally leads his army into Ost-in-Edhil and destroys the entire community. He tortures the locations of all
the nine and the seven from
Celebrimbor. He then personally carries the battle Northward and Westward enveloping almost the entirety of Middle-earth under his sway. He lays siege to
Elrond in
Imladris and
Gil-galad in
the Grey Havens. But for the coming of the first
Numenorean fleet, Sauron would have been the ruler of all the land from the Sea to
the East.
He sees a better way to woo the
Numenoreans than outright battle so he connives his way into their trust. He allows himself to be taken captive so he can put his master plan into effect. He knows that the Valar will destroy any mortal who sets foot on Valinor. He convinces
Ar-Pharazon that he is powerful enough to wrest immortality from them.
His spirit escapes to Middle-earth where he discovers he is again confronted with
the faithful of
Numenor who have established
kingdoms across Middle-earth in both the East and the North. He declares open war upon the People of
Gondor and the Last Alliance if formed. In the end, Sauron again confronts his enemies face to face and kills both of them but is also vanquished in the fight.
Melkor fought hand to hand twice in all of his existence. Once at the cowardly slaying of
Finwe when he stole
the Silmarils and again at his own Gates when
Fingolfin gave his challenge which could not be denied.
Melkor = chicken.
Sauron = defiant to the end.
