None are mentioned specifically throughout The Lord of the Rings save their leader, the Witch-king of Angmar.
The line from Tolkien's epigraph, " Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die " refers to the fate of men, uniquely among the creations of Eru to pass beyond Arda to a destiny unknown to the elves. The effects of the Nine on the Men were that they each acquired great power and wealth, became powerful Sorcerers this effect presumably ended when they became the Ringwraiths and appeared to have eternal life, for they did not age.
After a time however, life became unendurable to them, and when they put the Rings on, they often beheld the phantoms and delusions of Sauron. One by one, according to the nature of the Man and his innate inability to resist evil, they fell under Sauron's permanent control, and became wraiths who did only Sauron's bidding.
They remained permanently invisible, except to those Elves who had once dwelt in the Undying Lands few indeed by the Third Age and Maiar such as Sauron and the Wizards.
They were also visible to whomever wore the Ruling Ring whether the other Rings conferred this ability is unknown. This process also appeared to link their lives and power with Sauron's, making them little more than extensions of his will.
When Sauron's power was weak, the wraiths themselves were also fairly powerless. As Sauron became stronger however, they became much more powerful, to the point where the Witch-king was presumably able to match Gandalf the White in strength. It is unclear where the Nine were physically kept. One Ring to find them One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
Sauron's intent was to command the minds of the other ring bearers through their rings of power. His original intention was for the Rings to be given to Elves of power and influence. Sauron then intended to forge the One Ring which, through the lesser rings, would allow Sauron direct influence over the thoughts of the other ring-bearers. Had it succeeded perfectly, Sauron would have achieved dominance over the Elves with no military action required.
However, for this plan to be successful the Ruling Ring would have to be significantly stronger than the other rings, and Sauron put a great amount of his own power into the ring in order to achieve this. As the Ruling Ring, it had all the powers of the other rings, but to a far greater extent, and had some powers uniquely its own. While Sauron's plan didn't succeed perfectly, the existence of the One Ring on his finger meant that the other rings, with which many kingdoms had been built, could not be used safely.
Additionally, intentionally or not, Sauron's personal power was greatly enhanced so long as he wore the Ring, giving him military might the likes of which he could never have otherwise achieved. Unlike the other great rings, the One Ring held no gem and had no intricate designs on it, at least at first glance. To an ordinary layman it would appear as a simple golden band. Heating the ring in even a small fire, however, would reveal part of Sauron's incantation in an elvish script written along the ring.
According to Isildur , Sauron's hand was "black and yet burned like fire. It was virtually indestructible, and no craft or power possessed by the Elves or Gandalf could harm it in any way. It also appeared to have a will of its own or at least, the ability to independently carry out Sauron's will since it contained a large portion of his being , and could expand or shrink by itself in order for different races to wear it.
It was Isildur who cut the ring off Sauron's hand. He had the chance to destroy the One in the very chambers where it was forged, but was corrupted by the ring, and spared it. Later it betrayed him, resulting in his death. Bilbo got the Ring by chance, and at the end of all his adventures he still had it. He was chosen there to take the chance Isildur threw away: to destroy the One in the fires of Mount Doom.
Upon finding Frodo as he believed dead, Sam took the ring to protect it. After discovering Frodo alive, Sam returned the ring. Frodo, after a long and difficult journey, ultimately failed in his effort to destroy the One Ring. In the Sammath Naur , the place where its power was strongest, the Ring corrupted Frodo, and he tried to take it to keep for himself.
