Azog (“The Pale Orc” to his minions, “Dr. Hook” to his friends) is the most sinister albino baddie since Paul Bettany in The Da Vinci Code. But if you thought he was bad, wait ‘til you meet his son Bolg. “He has very brutal and damaged facial features,” says Richard Taylor, “so he’s come up with a very unique way of keeping it all together. A little bit of Mordor surgery, let’s say!” Just as Azog didn’t appear in Tolkien’s book, Bolg is a new character but plays a big part, leading orcs, wargs and bats into the Battle of the Five Armies. Will Azog get taken down sometime early in The Desolation Of Smaug, making his grotesque nipper thirst for revenge? And will we get to see a scene back at their Orc-house, with Azog shouting at his son to turn his music down?
maedhros-erchamion liked this Bolg is not a new character. He’s actually in the book. I don’t get why they didn’t use him instead of Azog in the first...
