As I read his character, he was probably a spy for anybody who just happened to come by. He was in no real connection to Barad-Dur (how could he even be), but he happened to be just at the right place at the right time to meet the Nazgul; as Strider says, he "would sell anything to anybody".

I like Ferny a lot because of this double-dealing, as a traitor, I like him, in fact, far more than Gríma. Besides, I like his squint-eyed friend a lot as well.

I like Golfimbul too, but here I just have to make way for Bill. (Even though he is apparently not being that nice to animals.)
