Orleg was a man who was a part of Túrin's outlaw-band.

Orleg was the only man to go with Túrin to spy on a group of Orcs on the road that lay near Talath Dirnen. While he and Túrin were hiding, they were discovered by three Orc scouts. Though they slew two of them, one escaped , alarming the rest of the Orcs.

Orleg was then killed by an arrow as he and Túrin were fleeing.
