Urgrog

Urgrog, the grey-hued younger brother of Ufgamog, acts as the Guard-master and second chieftain of the Uruk-Ungingurz. Like Ufgamog, he is huge (standing just over nine feet in height) and exceptionally strong. His size commands immediate respect among the Tereg and generates fear among the Yrch, and at the same time belies his nimble mind and body. It also helps veil his unusual— maybe even bizarre—sensitivity. An odd brand of compassion lies at the core of Urgrog's heart, enabling him to understand many of the motives and plans of the Free Peoples. While vulnerable to more pitiless Olog-hai, he presents a unique challenge to his non-Olog foes. Urgrog bears "Slave-taker," a great, gilded steel battle axe forged in Angband near the end of the First Age. He also carries an eight foot long spear, the beautifully carved, ivory-inlaid yew "Cruel-shaft" Comprised of overlapping, rectangular bronze plates, Urgrog's lamellar armor is also rather ornate. It protects him particularly well against upswings. Given that he stands far taller than most of his foes, it's a wise choice.
