Azog was an Orc chieftain who lived in Moria until his death in 2799. He precipitated the War of the Dwarves and Orcs in T.A. 2790 by killing King Thror, who came to revisit the ruins of Khazad-dom. By not only killing Thror but torturing him for some days, beheading him and branding his name on the Dwarf's head, Azog ensured he earned the universal hatred of Dwarves, who united in desire to kill him.

In the following years, he was the common enemy of all Dwarves. Gradually the Orcs were driven back through the Misty Mountains until they held only Moria. The war Azog started climaxed in the Battle of Azanulbizar, where he killed Nin, but while fleeing back to the gates of Moria he was caught and beheaded by Nain's son Dain. After killing Thror, Azog had given a small pouch of money to Thror's companion, as payment for him to tell the other Dwarves of the murder. The Dwarves returned the insult by setting Azog's severed head on a stake and sticking the money pouch in his mouth.
