In episode 6, we finally find out! The third episode of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power introduced audiences to the season's Big Bad: Adar (Joseph Mawle), a menacing elven figure who leads the orcs of the Southlands.
Adar is the leader of the orcs, and is played by Game of Thrones actor Joseph Mawle. Interestingly, Adar is not an orc, but seems to be an elf.
In the Silvan Elvish language "Adar" is Sindarin for "father." Adar is the father of the Orcs, in a sense.
Personality. Azog is depicted in the Hobbit film trilogy as the wrathful, psychopathic, iron-fisted, malevolent, bloodthirsty, insidious, cynical, bitter, malicious, arrogant and merciless chieftain of the Orcs of Moria, and leader of the Warg-riders.
Azog is played by Manu Bennett via motion-capture and CG (though he was originally intended to be played by Conan Stevens in a practical costume and makeup). He is a white-skinned Orc, known as the Pale Orc or Azog the Defiler. According to Balin, he is from Gundabad.
Bolg was the son of Azog, succeeding his father as a prominent leader of the northern Orcs after Azog was killed by Dáin Ironfoot at the Battle of Azanulbizar in Third Age 2799.
Allegedly, Tolkien originally toyed with the idea of making the Nazgûl afraid of the river as a result of being barred from crossing running water, which is an idea borrowed from classic folklore where evil things are unable to go across running water.
In the following and more serious revision of his mythology, Tolkien kept the same origin: in the Quenta Noldorinwa (1930s) it is written that Morgoth created the Orcs in Utumna, before the Awakening of the Elves: "the hordes of Orcs he made of stone, but their hearts of hatred".
Adar. As explained in the previous episode's recap, “Adar” is Tolkien's elvish word for “father,” and it's the name the orcs overtaking the Southland use for their mysterious leader. Now we've seen who they're talking about, and he turns out to be an elf himself.
The one-time elf was doing it for his orc children whom he loves, many of whom Sauron had sacrificed in his quest to rule Middle-earth. Adar wanted to give The Rings of Power's orcs a new home, one where they would not only be safe from light but safe from Dark Lords who treat them as disposable.
He will fight in the Last Battle against the Valar and their allies, but will ultimately be slain by Túrin Turambar, the Man he cursed. By finally defeating Morgoth, Túrin will avenge not only himself, but all members of the race of Men.
Especially in Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, orcs appear as a brutish, aggressive, ugly, and malevolent race of monsters, contrasting with the benevolent Elves. They are a corrupted race of elves, either bred that way by Morgoth, or turned savage in that manner, according to the Silmarillion.
Luthic was the orc goddess of caves and mate of Gruumsh, the patron of female orcs, healing, and home. The Cave Mother was their maternal paragon, raising her brood under the earth to be strong and vicious, and she would fight with the savage determination of a mother bear to protect her children.
When the pit lord Magtheridon took control of Outland, he created fel orcs by corrupting them with his blood.
The first Dark Lord Melkor took hostage some Elves from Cuiviénen. He tortured them, beat them, and broke their bodies into the first deformed and twisted beings known as Orcs. Tolkien confirmed that female Orcs did exist.
Since Tolkien said that Orcs were generally just seen as soldiers, then any female Orcs could have been soldiers as well. Much in the same way that female Dwarves aren't seen in The Lord of the Rings, but it is known that they still exist, the same could be true for Orc women.
The first being known to occupy the mountains of Mordor was Shelob, fleeing from the War of Wrath in Beleriand at the end of the First Age. She fed herself on Elves and Men living or passing nearby until these became scarce. Sauron settled in Mordor around S.A. 1000.
As the Nazgûl were still subservient to their own ring of power, they could not wield the full power of the One against its master. A shame in a way, because it goes against the theme of evil ultimately always destroying itself- but gives more importance to the cause against Sauron.
While the Nazgûl are certainly afraid of water, their fear of fire seems to be even greater for them for inexplicable reasons.
The Nazgûl are featured in the game. Besides the Witch-king and Khamûl the other Nazgûl are: Helm Hammerhand, the king of Rohan who fell into darkness after receiving a Ring of Power from Sauron and Celebrimbor, and in his rage he was turned into a Nazgûl.
While there was no mention of female Orcs in any of the books, Tolkien did later say that they did exist. We see proof of offsping as Gollum devours a young Orc child in The Hobbit. As disturbing as the thought might be, in the Silmarillion it is said that Orcs "breed after the manner of Elves and Men".
In the book, Bolg was crushed and killed by Beorn (in bear form), but in the film trilogy, he is stabbed and killed by Legolas.
Azog was the greatest Orc and the self-proclaimed King of Moria during the late Third Age. He became infamous as the vassal, or champion, of Sauron. A chieftain from Gundabad, Azog was charged by Sauron with rousing the Orcs of the Misty Mountains for thecampaign to reforge Angmar, and so first occupied Khazad-dûm.
