De acordo com a Sombra de Mordor, eles foram mortos pela Mão Negra.
Isso significa que eles só poderiam ter sido os Blue Wizards, que era a explicação mais provável dada a localização deles de qualquer maneira.
I think they went as emissaries to distant regions, East and South, far out of Numenorean range: missionaries to enemy-occupied lands, as it were. What success they had I do not know; but I fear that they failed, as Saruman did, though doubtless in different ways; and I suspect they were founders or beginners of secret cults and 'magic' traditions that outlasted the fall of Sauron.
