Regin the rigorous

Regin the Rigorous, was the Blacklock mercenary lord who had come to prominence among the Blacklocks. Ruler of his people, Regin led a host of his warriors in the War of the Dwarves and Orcs. Though most of the Blacklocks usually fought for pay, the gold stuffed in Thror's mouth was cause for payment enough and thus the Blacklocks under Regin the Rigorous fought hard with Thrain II and his Dwarf allies.
