When you are up against an exorbitant amount of deadly orcs just waiting to rip your flesh from the bone, it seems like a safe bet to have a good informant to help turn the tide. In Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor that orc is Ratbag.

Revealed as one of the lowliest of the orcs out there, the trailer below shows that Ratbag was just about to reach the end of Talion's blade. However, the two soon come to a mutual agreement. While Ratbag feeds Talion info on the orcs and helps him take out their higher-ranked officers, Ratbag takes advantage of the vacuum to consolidate his own power.

Check it out in action below. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor will be arriving on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One and Xbox 360 come October 8th.
