without looking it up, I'm guessing he is the orc that Shelob had caught & they left him hanging in her tunnel

Many live who deserve death; some die who deserve life--can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be so quick to deal out death in judgment. Even the wisest cannot see all ends.

Ravenhill is near Erebor and it is significant for two reasons:

1. Thorin and Company were spending the night there when they met Rolic who advised them of Smaug's death.

2. During the Battle of the Five Armies, the elves of Mirkwood, Gandalf and Bilbo made their stand there.

You mean the War of Wrath correct? :-k

I'm stumped all those I can think of involved in the Revolt had terrible ends. Unless you're thinking of Galadriel?
