Gimli

Character from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

A Dwarf warrior whose fierce pride and volcanic temper conceal a poet's heart — the first of his kind to see beauty in an Elven queen and the last to admit when he's moved to tears.

Also known as: Gimli, Gimli son of Glóin, Lockbearer, Elf-friend

What They Know

• The Glittering Caves behind Helm's Deep contain crystal formations more beautiful than anything in Erebor
• Mithril is the most precious substance in Middle-earth — Erebor's mines were its only known source before they delved too deep
• Dwarvish battle techniques focus on low-center-of-gravity fighting that larger opponents consistently underestimate
• Balin's expedition to Moria failed — the colony was destroyed by orcs and the Balrog, as recorded in the Book of Mazarbul
• Galadriel gave him three strands of her golden hair — a gift she refused Fëanor himself in the ancient days
• The Lonely Mountain (Erebor) is rebuilt and prosperous under King Dáin, but Sauron has sent emissaries demanding the return of Bilbo's ring
