A merchant, met by Lone Wolf in Joe Dever's Lone Wolf 2: Fire on the Water. He is one of the passengers on the coach from Ragadorn to Durenor, which Lone Wolf is forced to flee in Gorn Cove.
In the Legends novels, Halvorc is slain in the fighting which followed Lone Wolf's battle with an assassin.

Sounds like "half-orc", but confusingly, the character is fully human (though a little on the pudgy side). Anyway, there's no Orcs in the Lone Wolf universe.

A region of Beleriand, in the north, just to the south of Ard-Galen/Anfauglith and separated by a thin strip of land from Doriath to the south. It is a plateau surrounded by tall mountains which can be reached only via a few dangerous passes, which seem to lead mainly to Nan Dungortheb. Notable features include Rivil's Well and Tarn Aeluin.
Its role in Tolkien's book The Silmarillion is mainly as a site of a rearguard action by a small, heroic band of 14 outlaws led by the human king Barahir and including his son, Beren. It was overrun by Morgoth's forces after Dagor Bragollach, and became a scene of guerrilla battles until eventually only the 14 remained, harassing orkish patrols in the region. After Sauron crushed the outlaws, it was renamed Taur-nu-Fuin.

A world in Ian Watson's Warhammer 2000 novels. It is a hive world in which humans live in vast enclosed cities or "hives", while the remainder of the planet remains wild.
The world is destroyed by the Empire at the end of the first book, to eradicate Genestealers and a demonic hydra-creature which had been planted at its core by a secret cabal.

It's a pretty strange name for a planet. Like, a Russian dictator who's put on weight? I'm surprised anyone settled there.
