However, some of the hillmen from Lossarnach are mentioned as being swarthy. I doubt they'd be as dark as this dude, but there would be people of somewhat darker skin tone, similar to the Gondorian soldiers in the film.

Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lómë) I played it, and it said that Baranor (the black guy) was born near Umbar, in Near Harad. So no, he is not at all Lossarnach.
