To stick with Númenór for a bit longer, the large quantity of gold all over this person could suggest that we’re looking at Ar-Pharazôn, the last king of Númenór, also known as Ar-Pharazôn the Golden. After falling under the thrall of Sauron’s suggestions when the Dark Lord was captured by Númenór and brought to the island for imprisonment, Ar-Pharazôn was convinced to rise up against the Valar, setting sail with a might fleet to the Western lands of Valinor. The Valar, and, well, literally God, were not too happy about this, and Eru Ilúvatar promptly smashed the fleet, sunk Númenór, and… made the flat world of Arda a sphere? Yeah.
