Lokkak (Or. "Corpse-cleaver") was a mighty orc captain that rose through the ranks as a distinguished warrior and claimed to be the full son of the pure Boldog Malgoth the dark.
The Legend of Lokkak (N)[]
He was raised in the caves of the North by the wild tribes of the Winduin, massive orcs of old. At a young age he grew things like horns and massive tusk, he discovered his shapeshifting abilities later on in his life and knew he was of Boldog origin. He heard stories from the Winduin tribes that his father was Malgoth the dark, ruthless Boldog commander of the dark. He apparently gave these orcs Lokkak for worship and gratitude in return. He left the Winduin tribes which he called his own in search for his father, never finding him, but instead finding his supposed brother Mukarg, who was older, in the trenches of Angband. Mukarg didn't believe that Lokakk was of his blood until their father Malgoth came up from the earth through the portal of Eten and concluded it to be true, Malgoth left quickly not not to be seen for a while. Lokkak went with Mukarg to take over the Misty Mountains , which they succeeded in. Lokkak left quickly due to dwarves coming from Gundabad as reinforcements. His brother stayed and got trapped by the dwarves starving to death with his army. Lokkak returned to the Winduin tribes, whom took him for their leader and formed armies and settled for war to the misty mountains. His father Malgoth the dark would return and meet Lokakk half way to the Misty mountains with armies of Snaga and other orcish breeds. The Winduin tribes obviously were gigantic compared to Malgoths army. Malgoth came to help for one reason only, he came for the Ulûkai. He wanted the power and dark magic of it. The armies lead by Lokkak and Malgoth were at the steps of the Misty Mountains for revenge. They fought the dwarfs and took over the Misty Mountains, with Lokkak declaring himself king. The orcs of the armies became the new residents of the caves. The armies of the winduin he brought and the snaga-hai bred forming the goblins of later times. He became an orc chief at still a young age, skilled in the use of scimitars and bows. However, his reign of greatness was short lived as he was slain by descendants of the house of Fingolfin. However, Lokkak's taunts ultimately brought Argon the 2nd forward early and lured him away from the rest of the Noldor.
Greater details
Fingolfins house killed Lokkak, but it was Lokkak's deeds that would end up dissolving it. After Lokkaks death with the help of the elves, the dwarves took the fortress back driving the orcs back to the north. Lokkak had two sons, Ogslap and Sa, he had his sons return back to the north to build new armies. Ogslap met with Sauron in the north. Sauron saw great potential in Ogslap because he was the grandson of the powerful and strong necromancer Malgoth, who was slain years ago in a great Battle between seven kings of dwarfs and men; he had defeated all but one. The remaining were the Noldo remnants of Fingolfins house who used Malgoths powers against him. Malgoth stood 9,0, he was also massive and even more powerful use the Ulûkai he had taken. The descendants of the house of Fingolfin killed him by breaking the Ulûkai which set all of its sigil-bound spirits upon him eating him up into darkness. Ogslap was sent to Barad-dûr by Sauron. The latter was promoted to one of his highest ranking servants. Sauron eventually commanded Ogslap to retake and fortify the kingdom of the high pass of the Misty Mountains, which he achieved by going back to the north to gather his armies and kill the dwarven king. Ogslap became the new king and his line would follow suit.
Lokkak was an ancestor of the Great goblins.
