| - Azog the Desecrator or Azog the Defiler remains one of the greatest Orcs in the histories. As a son of Urzog the Impaler of the seed of Skorg his physical gifts were tremendous and, at least in reference to other Orcs, he was a veritable mental giant. His rise to power started as a Captain in the service of late Angmar. After Gorkil's death, he rose to the Ashdurbuk of Gundabad and, after the fall of Angmar, succeeded to claim a realm on his own in the north, uniting many of the wild orc tribes of the northlands under his banner. He murdered and decapitated the great heir of Dúrin, Thrór, and branded his name on the fallen Dwarf's head. In his arrogance, he offered a pouch of small money to the Dwarves as wergeld for his act of brutality. The Dwarves became enraged and waged war against the Orcs with dauntless ferocity, hunting in every Orc-den for Azog. This was the Great War of the Dwarves and the Orcs of the Third Age's 29th century. Azog was finally found and slain by Dáin II Ironfoot at the Battle of Azanulbizar (Dimrill Dale) in T,A. 2799, before the great East-gate of Moria, although Azog succeeded in also slaying Náin. Azog's head was then set on a stake, and the pouch of wergeld stuffed into its mouth.
