Easterling Warband Leader

Bôrthan-Hûz (Ul."Hûz the terrible") known as the Third Hûz as he preferred to call himself, was one of the mightiest lords of the Rhûn Easterlings in T.A. 2950. He was a traditional ally of Ôvatha IX of Khand.

Notes[]

Original form in MEPBM: Huz III = the third Huz

Speculations[]

The MOD Middle-earth:total war names the Loke-Kân who ruled about 2964 "Borthand", a name derived from the Easterling Lord of the First Age. However it may be possible that Hûz III and Borthand were the same person, Hûz was also a clan-name and rather a title of the clan's headman than a birth-name so Borthand may have been another name or title he was known as, either in Gondor or another country where similrities to the First Age Chief could be drawn. Since the historical Bothand was an acknowledged elf-friend, it may well be that Hûz III was an elf-friend too or an ally or at last relatively neutral towards Gondor.
