Grishnákh

"Where is it?"

- Grishnákh on the Ring Grishnákh was an Orc captain in service to the Dark Lord Sauron.

Mordor or Isengard
Grishnákh was part of the company of Orcs that had captured Merry and Pippin at Amon Hen. In truth, he had been sent by Sauron to take the hobbits back to Mordor because the Dark Lord does not trust Saruman to hand over the One Ring.

As such, he often quarreled with Uglúk about taking the hobbits to Isengard, for the latter had orders from Saruman to take the captives to Isengard. He even fought with him for a draught.

When the band is forced to battle the Men pursuing them at the eaves of Fangorn Forest, Uglúk is forced to leave him in charge of guarding the captives.

Grishnákh however takes them far from the fight and tries to find the One Ring, either intent on claiming it for Sauron or for himself. When the hobbits mimick Gollum and try convince him to cut their bounds so they can give the object to him, he loses his patience and threatens to kill them if they do not reveal the Ring's whereabouts. Before he can even try to finish them off, a Rohirrim Rider shoots him with an arrow and the orc falls dead to the ground.

Trivia

 * In Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings, Grishnákh seems to be a lesser captain as he is under the command of Uglúk. In the novels he is instead a captain of a large band of 20 Orcs sent by Sauron to gain possession of the One Ring.
 * He is killed by an arrow and not a spear in the movie.
