Gothmog (Third Age)
Gothmog
is a fictional character from
J.R.R. Tolkien
's
Middle-earth
fictional universe
. He was the lieutenant of
Minas Morgul
, second-in-command to the
Witch-king of Angmar
, lord of the
Nazgl
. He commanded the forces of Morgul during the
Battle of the Pelennor Fields
until Angmar appeared. Almost nothing is known of Gothmog — not even what race of beings he belonged to.
Tolkienists
speculate that he might have been one of the
Nazgl
, an
Orc
or a
Man
(in that case probably a
Black Nmenrean
like the
Mouth of Sauron
). In
Peter Jackson
's
The Return of the King
movie, Gothmog is an Orc with a misshapen face, and is played by
Lawrence Makoare
, a
New Zealand
actor. It is also possible that he was in fact a
Boldog
(a fallen
Maia
in Orc form). In the Special Extended Edition of
Return of the King
Aragorn
and
Gimli
kill an injured Gothmog while he is heading towards
owyn
with the intention of killing her, after she has been injured fighting the
Witch King
. Gothmog shares his name with a much earlier character,
Gothmog
, Lord of
Balrogs
.
