Good characters

Books

• The Daughters of Aragorn and Arwen or Unnamed Princesses were the daughters of King Aragorn II Elessar and his wife Queen Arwen of the Reunited Kingdom.

They are the sisters of the future King, Eldarion, as well as the granddaughters of Lord Elrond and Lady Celebrian of Rivendell. Through their mother, they are also the great granddaughters of Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel of the faded realm Lothlórien. After the death of their father, commonly known as Aragorn, their mother was torn by grief and laid down her life upon Cerin Amroth. It is likely that after these events took place, the unnamed women would have decided their own fates, whether to sail to the West and meet their Elvish kin, or stay behind as mortals to aid their newly crowned brother.

Virtually nothing is known about the girls or exactly when or where they were born. The only thing that is certain is that they were born in the early Fourth Age and that their brother was Eldarion, Aragorn Elessar's son and heir. It is not known whether they were older or younger than their brother.

• Unnamed Lord of Ringló Vale

Not much is known about his early life. During the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, he sent his son, Dervorin to return to aid Minas Tirith. Fortunately, his son managed to survive the great war.

He possibly died in the Fourth Age and his son succeeded him as the Lord of Ringló Vale.

• Unnamed Lord of Cair Andros

Not much is known about his early life. Sauron sent his army to besiege both Minas Tirith, the capital and Cair Andros, a stronghold of Gondor. When Sauron's army reached the haven, he ordered his soldiers to defend it. After the gate was broken down, he abandoned the city and escaped into the wild. He was never heard of again.^{[citation needed]}

• The Orc-chieftain was a huge Orc who was present at the Skirmish in Balin's Tomb. He was presumed to be one of the greatest Orcs of Moria and seems to have been the leader of the attack on the Fellowship in the tomb. In the battle, he lept 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. His followers, seeing their chieftain's death, fled. The Orc was clad all over in black mail. He had a red tongue, eyes like coals, and a squat, broad, flat face. He carried a huge spear, shield, and Scimitar. He was huge by Orc standards, nearly being man-high.
  • The Orc-chieftain appeared in the 1978 cartoon, The Lord of the Rings, though he didn't appear in Peter Jackson's film, the troll was the one to wound Frodo with the spear in that adaptation.

• The Armoured Mordor Troll Chieftain was an Olog-hai. In the book it attacks Beregond in Battle at the Black Gate. After injuring him it was about to kill him when Pippin killed him. He named the sword he used to do so Troll's bane.

• Unknown Orc Scout (Mordor) This lesser Orc worked in Mordor during the War of the Ring. In the book The Return of the King, he and an Uruk where sent to find an intruder (Gollum). After a long time he wanted to go back to the fort, but the Uruk disagreed. Around this time Sam and Frodo spied them from far awy. The orc, armed with a bow, killed the Uruk. He was likely killed in the Battle at the Black Gate or executed.

"That's cursed rebel-talk, and I'll stick you, if you don't shut it down, see?"

—Uruk soldier

• Unknown Uruk Scout (Mordor) This Uruk was working for Mordor in The Return of the King (book). He was a soldier (not a scout, the earliest version of this page was unfortunately inaccurate) from the Tower of Cirith Ungol, which was under the command of Captain Shagrat before he was killed during the uprising started by Captain Gorbag of Minas Morgul and the Nazgûl took over. He makes an appearance in the book while Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee are travelling across the Plateau of Gorgoroth. The soldier in question was armed with a spear, and was travelling with a smaller Orc scout, armed with a bow. They were under orders to track the intruder, but the orders were unclear; "First they say it's a great Elf in bright armour, then it's a sort of small dwarf-man, then it must be a pack of rebel Uruk-hai; or maybe it's all the lot together," as this soldier said, and the smaller scout wanted to "go home". The conversation shifts to Gollum, or the "black sneak" as they know him. Frodo and Sam, overhearing them from behind a bush, discover that the soldier had earlier shot at the “black sneak”, but missed. Eventually, the scout starts to leave, and when he is ordered back by the soldier, and threatened with having himself reported to the Nazgûl, expresses his dislike for the Nazgûl and how he was glad that the Witch-king, or "Number One" was killed; all-in-all, he thoroughly displayed treason. The soldier, the subject of this page, charged at him with spear in hand, but before he could get close enough to the scout, the latter put an arrow in his eye and ran off the way he came.

Unnamed Corsair henchman

• Unnamed Corsair Henchman (The Return of the King) was a Corsair of Umbar.

During the War of the Ring, he and the Corsairs, along with their leader, were confronted by Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli. When Aragorn warns the Corsairs not to enter Gondor, he and the corsairs refused. Just as Aragorn summons the Army of the Dead, he was among those killed in the onslaught.

Orc Raid Commander

• Orc Raid Commander (The Return of the King) was an Orc present at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields in The Return of the King.
  • He was not named in the film but was featured as a character in Decipher's The Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game.

Unnamed Olog-hai

• Unnamed Olog-hai Warrior (The Return of the King) was a deadly Olog-hai Chieftain and soldier who lived during the final years of the Third Age. He lived in the Black Gate.

In TA 3019, he had commanded the Olog-hai in the Battle of the Black Gate, the final battle in the War of the Ring. He killed several Men of Gondor and Rohirrim in the battle, due to his sword ability. He engaged Aragorn in a fierce duel. He charged at Aragorn four times while Aragorn charged once and he hit Andúril with all his strength and Aragorn fell to the ground because of the force of the Troll’s hit. Before Aragorn could get up, he kicked Aragorn with his foot and was stabbed in the foot with Aragorn’s dagger. Before he could finish off Aragorn, The One Ring fell in the Cracks of Doom. He was the first to notice Sauron's defeat, and fled the Black Gate. His actual fate is unknown.

• According to the special features in the extended edition of The Return of the King, Aragorn was originally to have dueled Sauron, who would have remanifested his physical form in order to challenge him. However, it was decided that this confrontation would have departed too greatly from the Lord of the Rings books and that it would have been too much about Aragorn's personal honor; thus, Sauron was removed and substituted with the troll.

No-Nosed orc in The Return of the Ring film

• "No Nose" was an Orc inspector seen in the extended version of The Return of the King. He noticed disguised orcs Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee while they made their way to Barad-dûr during the Quest of the Ring. His fate is unknown but it is likely that he was slain during the Battle of the Morannon.

• Orc captain was an Orc from Mordor who lead the Orcs to The Black Gate. He used the whip to make the Orcs walk faster, because they've probably been late to the battle. When he sees two Orcs are sitting down (Frodo and Sam), he whips them to get up. When Frodo and Sam escape, he and the other Orcs continue. He was most likely killed in onslaught of the Battle of the Black Gate.

Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings

• The same Unnamed Uruk-hai leader was in Ralph Bakshi's version of the films. In the film, he is portrayed as an Uruk-hai with a horned helmet and is the only one of the Uruk-hai soldiers on a horse. He is shown in a few scenes as Saruman's army marches on Helm's Deep before the actual battle starts. Later on, he is seen in another scene mid-battle and another one when the battle is drawing to its conclusion.

• In Ralph Bakshi's version, the Cave Troll of Moria had a very small part. It was seen only partly as it attempted to come trough the battered doors; it bore resemblance to the Swamp Thing, a plant elemental in the DC Comics' universe. Unlike in Peter Jackson's version the troll gets stabbed in the foot by Frodo as the latter cried: "For the Shire!"

Video games

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

• The Unnamed Uruk-hai warrior that ordered Saruman's armies into battle, is also seen briefly in Two Towers video game and is named "Thrugg". Unlike in the movies however, he is seen wearing the helmet of a Berserker.

The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game

• The Unnamed Uruk-hai warrior appears in the Isengard Sourcebook, released by Decipher Inc.. Although in the Sourcebook, they're talking about an Half-orc, not a true Uruk-hai, called "Móg". In the game Móg is Saruman's primary commander, so we have reason to suspect they are the same people.
