The Witch-king of Angmar, aka Lord of the Nazgûl or the Black Captain, is the chief of the Ringwraiths of Middle-earth.
It is after the formation of Angmar and several conflicts with the Dúnedain of the North that the Lord of the Nazgûl received the title of Witch-king, Lord of Angmar, for which he was the best known since this was his first great act independent of Sauron.
It was at Minas Morgul that the Witch-king made his stronghold, giving him the title of Lord of Morgul.

The only allegiance they know is to the Witch-king of Angmar, at whose command they once preyed upon the northern kingdoms of the Dunédain, bringing dismay and terror to the world of Men, and speeding the fall of Arnor.
As Angmar rose to power, the undead of the blasted regions of Eriador became agents of terror sent forth amongst the realms of Men.
In the years of Angmar's dominance, and through the centuries since, tales have been told across Eriador of spectral Wargs, who strike without sound and leave neither blood nor flesh as trace of their passage.

 #254: Witch-king of Angmar
Overall, Witch-king of Angmar is a very powerful card in a limited number of situations.
Overconfidence in a prophesy can be fatal, shown in both Macbeth, who's life was not to yield "to one of woman born," and in the Witch-king, who would not be killed by "no living man."
Angmar can be a pleasant surprise to someone looking for hoard items in Zarak Dum, though.

Lord of the Nazgúl, the nine terrifying Ringwraiths, the Witch-king of Angmar was the chief lieutenant of Sauron the Dark Lord.
Once a great king of old, the Witch-king, like all the Nazgúl, was enslaved to the will of Sauron by his magical Ring of Power.
In the physical realm the Witch-king was little more than a spirit wrapped in black cloth, a fearful presence, but when seen by Frodo in the spirit world, the specter's true guise was revealed, a twisted and malicious fiend, still bearing the tall crown of his office.

 Tolkien Crackpot Theories
Tom Bombadil and the Witch-king of Angmar are the same person.
Because in his alternate guise as the Witch-king of Angmar, Tom ordered the Wight to inhabit the barrow in the first place!
I suppose that the Witch-king, once of proud Numenorean ancestry, felt trapped by the guise of evil which Sauron had tricked him into, and in the fullness of time forged this alternate identity for himself so that he could occasionally feel happy, helpful, noble, and more at one with himself and his lineage.

In the early days of Angmar, the Witch-king sent forces North to "collect" the remnants of an evil race that was long believed destroyed, but which Sauron's far-seeing eye spied in the ruins of the Northern Waste.
Recognizing the power of the Witch-king and of his master in Mordor, these creatures willingly joined with Angmar and Sauron.
With Angmar's forces scattered, the Gorthorogs retreated to the dark places of that fallen kingdom, which were to them much like the cracks and shadows in the North where they once dwelt.

As for the King's Men, only those who were already in Middle-earth at the time of the fall of Númenor survived [3,5].
However, Tar-Atanamir was the first King of Númenor to speak out against the Valar and the Ban, and during his reign many turned from the worship of Eru, the Creator.
This seems unlikely given the fact that he was clearly not a wraith at the time of his appearance in The Return of the King.

The Chief took council with the King, and agreed to help the King ere the cold arm of Angmar receded, but would not let the King & his men stay in their main camp, partially out of fear of angering the Witch-King, and partially to appease his sons.
Soon, the King & his men were set in an encampment of their own along the shore of the Bay of Forochel, and a fire was kindled using flint they found in the old dwarf cave, and from clothing, driftwood and animal fat given to them by the Lossoth.

 NovelGuide: The Return of the King: Novel Summary: Book V Chapter 6
The Witch King of Angmar, the lord of the Ringwraiths, appears, wielding a huge black mace, “turning hope to despair, and victory to death.” The Witch King shoots Théoden’s steed, and the king falls beneath it.
The Witch King symbolizes death itself to a certain degree: readers will recall his words to Gandalf at the close of Chapter 4, as well as his words to Dernhelm here: “No living man may hinder me!” And yet this symbol of death itself dies at the hands of Éowyn and Merry.
The Witch King scoffs at Dernhelm, “No living man may hinder me.” Dernhelm laughs and reveals himself—herself—to be none other than Éowyn, “no living man” indeed.
