Lurtz

Lurtz is an Uruk-hai, and the leader of a team sent by Saruman to capture the hobbits and the One Ring. He only appeared in the film, Lord of the Rings and the Fellowship of the Ring.

Lurtz was one of many Uruk-hai created by Saruman, a cross between orcs and goblins, and more powerful than either. Lurtz led a team of Uruks to capture the hobbit carrying the One Ring. Although Frodo was the one with the ring, the uruks thought Merry and Pippin to have the ring, and took them away despite Boromir's attempts to stop them, as Lurtz shot Boromir with three arrows, mortally wounding him. As he was about to kill him with a fourth arrow, however, Aragorn entered the battle. He cut Lurtz's arm off and stabbed him, but this hardly seemed to affect him as he pulled the blade further in. Aragorn withdrew his sword and sliced Lurtz's head off, finally killing him.
