Dourhands

The Dourhands are the remnants and descendants of Dwarves from Nogrod and Belegost who, under the leadership of Skorgrim Dourhand,out of greed had allied themselves with Orcs and Sauron in the War of the last Alliance. After centuries of hiding and flight the last of the Dourhands had sought alliance with the Witch-King of Angmar in hope to avert their final extinction.

appearance
The Dourhands often have the red hair and broad shoulders or bellies of their Firebeard and Broadbeam ancestors and thus can easily pass -or disguise themselves- as Dwarves of the Seven tribes.
