Thorin Oakenshield

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

A Dwarf king in exile whose pride and grief over a stolen homeland drove him to reclaim Erebor — only to discover that dragon-sickness runs in the bloodline as surely as courage.

Also known as: Thorin, Thorin Oakenshield, Thorin II, King Under the Mountain

What They Know

• Smaug drove his people from Erebor — Thorin was a young prince who watched his grandfather's kingdom burn
• The Arkenstone is both the symbol of his right to rule and the object most likely to trigger his dragon-sickness
• He earned the name Oakenshield using an oak branch as a shield in the Battle of Azanulbizar
• His grandfather Thrór was maddened by gold-lust — Thorin fears the same weakness in himself
