HarryDresden1984 was right though. Orc were Avari that captured by Morgoth. Morgoth torture and corrupt them to creates The Orcs. Avari are the "unwilling" elves who dont follow Orome invitation to lives on Valinor. When the elves decended into Middle-Earth, Orome found and invite them to lives in Valinor. Half of them that follow Orome called Eldar. Avari whose not. The Eldars later split up to become Vanyar, Noldor, Nandor (silvan elves and Green Elves), and Sindar (grey elves)

Lovely actors, you shouldn’t worry that the fans know more than you do. Maybe look to them as muses to help develop your characters? It’s actually a pretty cool predicament as an actor to have sooo many various theories and lore behind these characters! :-) The only people who should be insecure about the fans knowing more are the *show writers.* The writers room needs to be hiring the fans for lore-fact checking and as members of a think tank to help draft concepts.
