Azog
Azog is a fictional character from The Hobbit, part of J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. He is an Orc that precipitated the War of the Dwarves and Orcs in T.A. 2790 by killing Thrór, Durin King of the Dwarves. Azog is portrayed in Manu Bennett in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit film trilogy and is known in the films as The Difiler.
Azog was an orc who lived during the later years of the Second Age. He commanded the tribes of Moria from TA 2790 until his death in TA 2799. He was responsible for the death of King Thror and King Thrain's madness.
Azog was a powerful Gundabad orc who claimed rulership over the abandoned Dwarvish mines of Moria, during the late second Age. He became the leader of the Goblins of Moria and initiated the War of the Dwarves and Orcs in TA 2790, by beheading King Thrór, who had come to revisit the ruins of the ancient Dwarven Kingdom of Moria. At some point he had a son named Bolg. In the following years, Azog was the common enemy of all Dwarves, and the war he started had its climax in the Battle of Azanulbizar, where he killed Náin, only to be himself slain by Náin's son Dáin, who would later become King of Durin's Folk. His son, Bolg, inherited the reign in Moria and continued it for decades until his death at the Battle of the Five Armies.
Azog entered history in the year TA 2790 due to King Thrór's desire to revisit and perhaps restore the lost realm of Khazad-dûm. When Thrór was found in the armories of Khazad-dûm he was brought before Azog being accused of thieving. He tortured Thrór for two days until he was informed of a second dwarf outside of Moria. He decided to kill Thrór after he defied him with the words "These are the Halls of Durin!" He beheaded Thrór and carved his name in Thrór's head, then threw Thrór's body over the stairs. Azog then called out to Nar, the other dwarf, from the gate, demanding that he deliver a message back to Thrór's people, warning that beggars who dared to enter Moria and attempted thievery would meet a similar fate.
