Video games have the amazing capability to immortalize characters into our hearts and minds, and that's exactly what Monolith is doing with their latest DLC for Middle-Earth: Shadow of War. The DLC, titled, Forthog the Orc Slayer, adds a new character into the game that's based on Monolith's former executive producer, Michael Forgey, who died fighting cancer last year during the making of the game.



Forthog is a godly Orc-Slayer who fights packs of orcs with what looks like a guitar with a blade on the end. The DLC costs $5, and Warner Brothers Interactive is giving $3.50 of every purchase to the Forgey family, in honor of Michael. All proceeds from the DLC will be going to Michael's family up until December 31, 2019. 

If you'd like to know a little more about Michael and his impact on the developers over at Monolith, watch the video below:
