Uglúk
Grishnákh is the leader of the Mordor orcs and part of the company that abducts Merry and Pippin. Combative with the Isengard orcs and loyal to Sauron, Grishnákh fears that Saruman will take the credit for the capture of the hobbits and attempts to steal them to deliver the Ring to Sauron personally. A rider of Rohan kills him as he’s sneaking away from the orc company.
