'''Ratbag the Coward''', was an [[Orcs|Uruk]] of [[Sauron|Sauron's]] Army in [[Udûn]] who becomes an ally to [[Talion]].

Ratbag is an original creation for ''[[Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor]]''. He is portrayed by [[Phillip LaMarr]].

==History==
Outside of the western side of [[Durthang]], Ratbag was tied to a pole, being left to rot by his captain, "Goroth Caragor Tamer". After some time had passed, the ranger known only as Talion the Gravewalker is coaxed over and strikes a deal with the uruk. If Talion helped him to become a Warchief, then he will draw out the [[Black Hand|Black Hand of Sauron]]. In addition, Ratbag swore that every uruk beneath his command will hinder Talion's quest. Despite this, however, he cannot speak for the other Warchiefs.

Eventually, after all of the other Warchiefs are killed, the "Hammer of Sauron" arrives, skeptical that out all the Warchiefs, Ratbag was the only one left alive, Who claims that the other Warchiefs perished in battle. Unfortunately for Ratbag, the "Hammer of Sauron" flings Ratbag away with his mace, seemingly killing him.

It is revealed much later (in [[Middle-earth: Shadow of War]]) that Ratbag was alive and made an ally of the [[Olog-hai|Olog]] Az-Harto, whom he calls "Ranger". Somehow, the two of them managed to take over the fortress of Sharkburz in [[Nurn]]. At the same time, they forged a legend of themselves as a two-headed [[Trolls|troll]] called "[[Etten|The Etten]]".

==Etymology==
''Ratbag'' is an English word meaning "a despicable person".

The name could have also taken inspiration from the two Orcs [[Shagrat]] and [[Gorbag]].

==Other versions==
In an alpha gameplay video, Ratbag was originally an [[Orcs|uruk]] called '''Ratbag the Meat Hoarder''' who [[Talion]] had to dominate in order to find out the location of a Warchief.

There is an easter egg [[Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor]] where if Talion does not obtain a Nemesis by the time of the assault on [[Ephel Dúath|Ered Glamhoth]], then Ratbag the Coward would act as a stand-in for a Nemesis. Curiously, this version of Ratbag was voiced by [[William Dwight Schultz]] rather than [[Phillip LaMarr]].

Lady '''Marwen''', also known as Queen Marwen, is a character invented for [[Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor]]. She is the leader of the [[Tribesmen of Núrn]].

The Tribesmen are the descendants of [[Corsairs of Umbar|Corsair]] Raiders who settled the Coast of the [[Sea of Núrnen]] after the armies of [[Gondor]] withdrew hundreds of years ago. In her youth, Lady Marwen was a respected and feared warrior throughout the Southern region of [[Mordor]] before she settled down to lead her people. Since the return of [[Sauron]] and the Black Captains she searched for any means to hold back the dark tide of war.

The character is voiced by [[Claudia Black]]

==Events of Shadow of Mordor==
When Marwen sought the aid of [[Saruman]] regarding the threat of [[Sauron]], she became possessed by him and sent her daughter, Lithariel, to find [[Celebrimbor]]. She uses prophetic powers to guide [[Talion]] and Celebrimbor to one of Celebrimbor's relics and advises them to use Celebrimbor's powers to take control of an army of [[Uruk-hai|Uruks]], and use them to lead an assault against Sauron.
Talion eventually realized that Marwen was possessed, resulting in Saruman's attempt to remove Celebrimbor from Talion's body to fail as Lithariel frees her from his possession by breaking the staff, saving Talion and Celebrimbor. However, Talion still carries out Saruman's plan, and leads his army of mind-controlled orcs in an assault against the Black Hand's stronghold at Ered Glamhoth.
As the Black Hand of Sauron later attacks Nurnen and leaves smoking ruins in his wake, it is assumed that Lady Marwen and Lithariel were forced to flee, were captured or killed in the resulting attack.
==Etymology==
'''''Marwen''''' likely means "Dwelling Maiden" in [[Quenya]], being a compound of ''[[Mar]]-'' ("dwell") and ''[[gwenn]]'' ("maiden").

'''Talion''' is a character created for the video-game ''[[Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor]]'' who served as the captain of the Rangers of Gondor on the [[Black Gate]]. He was married to a woman, named Ioreth, and he had a son with her, named Dirhael, and they were all killed by servants of [[Sauron]]. The wraith of [[Celebrimbor]] inhabited his body, making Talion unable to die and allowing both him and Celebrimbor to seek vengeance on Sauron for killing their families.
