In the War in the North video game, Wulfrun is a dark sorcerer from Carn Dûm who serves Sauron's most deadly servant, Agandaûr, and also leads a group of dark sorcerers called the Cult of the Lidless Eye.
He also writes the Black Speech into scrolls that he and his fellow sorcerers used to cast spells against their enemies.
War in the North
Wulfrun - like many goblins and Orcs - was taught how to wield dark sorcery by his master Agandaûr. He was seen at Agandaûr's side when he goes to Sarn Ford after the Nazgûl purge it. Agandaûr speaks to the Witch-king, the Lord of the Nazgûl and proclaimed ruler of the realm of Angmar, that he has gathered his forces at the ruins of Fornost. Wulfrun doesn't take part in the Fornost level, but he is mentioned in the quest of the "Cult of the Lidless Eye" as the one who writes the Black Speech into the scrolls used by the Orc and goblin sorcerers that are later destroyed by lord Elrond of Rivendell. Later in the game, Wulfrun rides a Fell beast and attacks the three heroes Eradan, Farin and Andriel who fly on Beleram one of the Great Eagles over the foggy woodlands of Mirkwood. He knows they seek the wizard Radagast the Brown and knocks them out of the sky. Wulfrun confronts the heroes telling them no one can help Radagast, or themselves. Suddenly, Beleram flies in and tackles Wulfrun's fell beast. With his dark sorcery, Wulfrun battles the heroes, but fails to destroy them and dies himself. His powers range from teleportation, to launching dark magic bolts from his staff, to summoning a fire wall from the ground.
