Yup, you're exactly right about that, which is why I think that we haven't seen him yet. But since he's known as 'the deceiver' I think a lot of fans are expecting him to appear in a form that we as viewers don't expect, so that we're deceived as well. However, Sauron was also instrumental to the Numenor storyline. A few episodes ago, one could kinda see how they were setting up Halbrand to have the sort of influence in Numenor that Sauron has. I don't think that idea holds up as well now as it did a few weeks ago.
