Biography[]
Brûz is an Olog-hai seemingly willing to help Talion and Celebrimbor rise to power. When Brûz helps Talion with occupying the fortress in Núrn, it turns out that the fortress was ruled by Ratbag and the troll Ranger.
Brûz put himself forward as Overlord but Talion gave that position to one of his other followers on the insistence of Ratbag, much to the discomfort of Brûz. Eventually when Talion captured another fortress, Brûz decided he wanted to be Overlord and betrays Talion making him overlord and lord over Nurn and one of the highest ranking in Sauron’s armies at the moment. Brûz started an uprising, killing followers of Talion and Celebrimbor. He captured Talion's Warchiefs, but the chiefs were rescued and Brûz was defeated by Talion. He still managed to escape, after which he kidnapped Ranger. When Talion went in and saved Ranger, Brûz was bested again. This time Talion shamed him until Brûz lost his mind, preventing further actions from his side.
Some time after Brûz's shaming, his three brothers: Baz, Gaz, and Daz set out to avenge him, but ultimately failed; with all three being shamed and slain by Talion.
