Background

Personality

He is an incredibly ruthless orc lord bent on destroying the Line of Durin. He is incredibly blood thirsty, enjoying the misery of Gandalf and Thorin Oakenshield, and killing his nephew Fili in front of him, Dwalin and Bilbo. Though he succeeded in killing Thorin and his heirs, Azog still failed, since the line still ran through Dáin Ironfoot and Dís, Thorin's cousin and sister

Abilities

• Longevity: Azog can live for centuries, but can still be killed by a mortal weapon.

The Hobbit (film series)

Azog is played by Manu Bennett via motion-capture and CGI.
