Azog

Azog remains one of the greatest Orcs in the histories. His physical gifts were tremendous and, at least in reference to other Orcs, he was a veritable mental giant. He murdered and decapitated the great heir of Durin, Thór, and branded his name on the fallen Dwarf's head, in his arrogance, he offered a pouch of small money to the Dwarves as wergeld for his act of brutality. The Dwarves became enraged and waged war against the Orcs with dauntless ferocity, hunting in every Orc-den for Azog. This was the Great War of the Dwarves and the Ores of the Third Age's 29th century. Azog was finally found and slain by Dain TI Ironfoot at the Battle of Azanulbizar (Dimrilt Dale) in T,A. 2799, before the great East-gate of Moria, although Azog succeeded in also slaying Nain. Azog's head was then set on a stake, and the pouch of wergeld stuffed into its mouth.
