no, half orc, ranger :)

There was this orc duo in Mordor that Frodo and Sam overheard; a warrior and a scout. The scout was sniffing some former possessions of the hobbits and trying to follow their trail by smell, while the warrior cursed at him; eventually they fought and the warrior killed the scout.

I have been looking for the scout´s name, he is kinda the blueprint for my character, but I cant find it and I am not even sure those 2 orcs had names.

What is your ratio "Winners / Losers"?

Good question; not counting the ones I abandon for one reason or another, I would guess about 1/2 make it.
A while ago I was diving more agressively, resulting in lower ratio. When there is more motivation not to die (competition or such), ratio should be higher.

Simple choices, for example: let get one turn on you or abandon attempt to clear this vault ? make the difference. In lazy mode, I might pick the former option and occasionally die for it.

Is there such a monster that kills your characters more often than others?

Not that I am aware of. Recently I opened a save file on another computer that I havent used in a while, making a new character, and last message was "killed by Lagduf, the snaga". I dont remember who/when/what was going on then, nor the circumstances surrounding the death (maybe a nether wraith came through the wall while I was fighting Lagduf, his nether bolt brought me down to 5 hp, and Lagduf got the killing blow ?).

Where did you get the patience to pass the game over and over again?
Since killed my level 44 mage I made many attempts, but they are most die before cLevel 20 because I play too aggressively.
In the case of Gornost I found a great artifact very early. This gave me an incentive to behave cautiously, so as not to miss this chance. However, when I began to play with stronger classes opposite is true: I find a good thing; I think that I can kill everything; dying.
And with each new death I increasingly losing patience, and all my characters die before :(

What you describe - thats what Angband is about. There are rules, of course ("dont fight ghouls without free action"), eventually you learn them all, and then its about maintaining a good rhythm. Not speed up, not slow down, just plog along steadily. Detect, retreat, detect, run, fight, pick up loot, rinse wash and repeat.

There are times when life is hard, when poison and confusion and blindness is everywhere, I use up all potions and have to recall without finding good items; eventually, either death takes me or the game gives me a break and I find some good items.

Ladder dumps are usually made after such a break, not during periods of hardship. Studying them only shows the bright side of Angband.

Where do I find the patience ? I dont know. If you play too aggressively, it might be that you dont have the "retreat" routine in your blood. When danger rises, it should trigger automatically.
Or maybe it would help if you keep the danger level high by descending deeper when you notice the agression coming on.
