Sharku Appearing only in the film adaptation of The Two Towers, Sharku was a very old orc who was the captain of Saruman's Warg Riders. In the film, he and his fellow riders were unleashed by Saruman to attack the Rohirrim of Edoras while they were journeying to Helm's Deep. Though many Rohirrim were slain, they were also all killed. However, Aragorn plunges over a cliff along with Sharku's Warg, and is presumed dead. Sharku is also one of the playable heroes in the computer game The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II. The Warg rider attack (as well as most of the circumstances and its aftermath) is an invention by the scriptwriters. In the book Sharkû (note diacritic û) is a name used for Saruman himself by his servants, meaning "old man". It is modified to "Sharkey" by his minions when they take over the Shire. Picture
