Gorbag the captain of the Uruks of Minas Morgul. He served the Nazgûl who dwelt in the Dead City but he found them disturbing so he moved to Cirith Ungol with Shagrat.
During the War of the Ring it was Gorbag and Shagrat who came across Frodo Baggins who was paralysed by Shelob. They took Frodo back to Cirith Ungol where they would strip him of his posessions.
It was then that a fight broke out over who would get to keep the Mithril, during the fight Gorbag was slain by Shagrat.
