Orc chieftain (Moria)

The orc chieftain was a huge orc (almost as tall as a man) who was present at the skirmish at Balin's tomb. He is presumed to be one of the greatest orcs of Moria and seems to have been the leader of the attack on the Fellowship in th tomb. In the battle, he leapt into the chamber as the Nine Companions were fleeing and stabbed Frodo with a great spear, though the hobbit did not die due to the fact that he wore a shirt of mithril. His spear was quickly broken by Samwise, and as he reached for his scimitar, he was quickly cut down by Aragorn, who clove the orc's head with Anduril. His followers, seeing their chieftan's death, fled.
