Tharzog ordering the call of his guards to help kill Andriel, Farin, and Eradan
Tharzog was an Orc chieftain from Mount Gram who served Agandaûr, the fictional "Right Hand" of Sauron. He is also the boss of Level One in the video game War in the North.

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North[]
Tharzog leads Agandaûr's Orc and goblin soldiers that have gathered in Fornost, the ancient former kingdom of the Dúnedain and capital of Arthedain. He is seen at the citadel gathered with other Orcs and goblins. Agandaûr enters, and asks Tharzog of the disturbance at Fornost. Tharzog tells that intruders, likely Elves or Dwarves, who have freed their prisoner Beleram, one of the Great Eagles. Agandaûr replies that the matter must be resolved swiftly. Tharzog orders an Orc to call his guard. He spots the elf twins Elladan and Elrohir going through the stairs leading to the top of the citadel. The gate closes behind them, cutting off their allies Eradan, Farin and Andriel. Tharzog battles the trio alongside his Orc and goblin guardsmen, but ultimately cannot overcome their combined strength, and is soon killed.
