==B==

===Balin===

{{main|Balin (Middle-earth)}}

'''Balin''' was a [[Dwarves (Middle-earth)|Dwarf]] leader, the son of [[Fundin]] and elder brother of [[Dwalin]]. He was born in 2763 Third Age. Balin was among the Dwarves that travelled with [[Bilbo Baggins]] and [[Gandalf]] in ''[[The Hobbit]]''.

===Bifur===

'''Bifur''' was one of the thirteen companions to accompany [[Bilbo Baggins]] and [[Thorin Oakenshield]] on the quest of [[Erebor]]. He was the cousin of Bofur and Bombour. They arrived at [[Bag End]] together. Unlike the other dwarves, those three were not of Durin's Tribe.

===Bofur===

'''Bofur''' was one of the thirteen companions to accompany [[Bilbo Baggins]] and [[Thorin Oakenshield]] on the quest of [[Erebor]]. He was the brother of Bombur and the cousin of Bifur. They arrived at [[Bag End]] together. Unlike the other dwarves, those three were not of Durin's Tribe.

===Bombur===

'''Bombur''' is a fat [[Dwarves (Middle-earth)|Dwarf]] who accompanies [[Thorin Oakenshield]] and [[Bilbo Baggins]] on their journey to [[Erebor]]. His brother [[Bofur]] and cousin [[Bifur]] also joined the quest. Unlike the other dwarves, those three were not of Durin's Tribe.

"Poor, fat" Bombur is frequently described as foolish and being the last for everything. Because he counts for two, he is the last to enter [[Beorn]]'s house and the last to cross the enchanted river in [[Mirkwood]]. And he makes mistakes when he is last: He tumbles with Bifur and Bofur onto Thorin when they enter [[Bag End]] last, he enters Beorn's house earlier than intended, and he also slips into the enchanted river (and falls asleep). He chooses to stay and guard the supplies camp while the others move up Erebor because he trusts neither mountain paths nor ropes. Later though, he is forced to use the ropes to escape the rampaging [[dragons (Middle-earth)|dragon]] [[Smaug]].

Bombur sleeps at several key moments in the book. When he trips into the Mirkwood river, he falls under a spell that makes him sleep for days, burdening the others with his weight as they walked on. And while he is on a midnight lookout in the fortified Erebor, Bilbo promises to keep watch so that he can sleep in the warmth (Bilbo used this opportunity to sneak the [[Arkenstone]] out of the mountain). Incidentally, he was asleep when they opened his barrel after escaping the [[Elves (Middle-earth)|Elves]] of Mirkwood and also when Bilbo discovered the [[secret passage|secret entrance]] to Erebor.

In ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', many years later, [[Frodo Baggins]] enquires after Bombur and learns that he has grown so fat it takes six Dwarves to lift him, as he can no longer move from his bed to his couch.

===Borin===

'''Borin''' is a [[Dwarf (Middle-earth)|Dwarf]] of [[Durin]]'s Line, the second son of King [[Náin II]]. He was the ancestor of both [[Balin]] and [[Gimli (Middle-earth)|Gimli]] Elf-friend of the [[Company of the Ring]].

==D==

===Dáin I===

'''Dáin I''' was the last King of all Durin's Folk, son of Náin II. Under Dáin I, attacks by dragons on their mines in the Ered Mithrin continued. Dáin I was killed by a cold-drake in 2589 [[Third Age|T.A.]], and the Ered Mithrin were abandoned by the Dwarves. He was the last king of all Durin's folk. He was succeeded by his son, [[Thrór]], who returned to [[Erebor]] and unsuccessfully attempted to reclaim [[Moria (Middle-earth)|Moria]]. He also had a younger son, [[Grór]].

===Dáin II Ironfoot===

{{main|Dáin II Ironfoot}}

'''Dáin II Ironfoot''' was a descendant of Grór, the youngest son of Dáin I of Durin's folk, and was lord of the Dwarves of the Iron Hills in Wilderland.

===Dís===

'''Dís''' was a female [[Dwarves (Middle-earth)|Dwarf]], daughter of [[Thráin II]] and sister of [[Thorin Oakenshield]]. She was the mother of [[Fíli and Kíli]], and the only ''dwarf-woman'' ever named by Tolkien.

==='''Dori'''===

'''Dori''' was one of the thirteen Dwarves who befriended [[Bilbo Baggins|Bilbo]] in ''[[The Hobbit]]'' and travel with him in search of [[Smaug]]'s treasure caverns.

It fell to Dori to carry Bilbo in the tunnels of the [[Misty Mountains]] during the escape from the goblins, but Dori dropped Bilbo and the other dwarves blamed him for "losing their burglar." Later, during the escape from the [[Warg]]s when they all climbed trees, Dori climbed back down to help Bilbo could not get up on his own. When the Eagles carried them off, Bilbo grabbed hold of Dori's legs as they went. The Book describes Dori as being "a decent fellow, despite his grumbling."

*Quote: "I can't always be carrying burglars on my back...down tunnels and up trees! What do you think I am? A porter?"

{{main|Durin}}

'''Durin III''' was the first bearer of one of the Seven Rings, although this was not known to outsiders until the end of the Third Age.

Son of [[Fundin]] and younger brother of [[Balin]], Dwalin is one of the least mentioned Dwarves in ''The Hobbit''. He was the first Dwarf to arrive at [[Bag End]]. He wore a dark green hood and a golden belt and had a blue beard. Like his brother he plays the [[viol]]. Dwalin lent a hood and cloak to Bilbo when they set out on their journey. He supposedly died in [[Fourth Age|IV]] 91 at the age of 340, very old even for a Dwarf.

==F==

===Frerin===

'''Frerin''' was the second son of [[Thráin II]] and the younger brother of [[Thorin Oakenshield]]. Little is known of him except for that he perished at a young age when he joined in the [[Battle of Azanulbizar]] in the climatic battle of the [[War of the Dwarves and Orcs]], beneath the East Gate of [[Moria (Middle-earth)|Khazad-dûm]].

===Frór===

'''Frór''' was a [[Dwarves (Middle-earth)|dwarf]] of the line of [[Durin]], who was killed with his father [[Dáin I]] by a [[Dragons (Middle-earth)|cold-drake]] in the [[Grey Mountains]]. The kingship of Durin's folk clan then passed on to his brother [[Thrór]], who founded the kingdom of [[Erebor]]. However the greater part of Durin's folk followed Thrór's younger brother [[Grór]] to the [[Iron Hills]].

===Fundin===

'''Fundin''' was the son of Farin, the brother of [[Gróin]], and the father of [[Balin (Middle-earth)|Balin]] and [[Dwalin]], two of [[Thorin Oakenshield]]'s companions on the Quest of [[Erebor]]. Fundin was killed beneath the East Gate of [[Moria (Middle-earth)|Khazad-dûm]] in the climatic [[Battle of Azanulbizar]] during the [[War of the Dwarves and Orcs]]. After the battle, all of the fallen [[Dwarves (Middle-earth)|Dwarves]], Fundin included, were stripped of their armour and weaponry by their kinsmen, and were burnt upon pyres of wood.

==G==

===Gamil Zirak===

'''Gamil Zirak''' was a Dwarvish smith, who was the master of [[Telchar]] of [[Nogrod]]. Gamil was a great craftsmen, whose work was found in the treasuries of [[Thingol|Elu Thingol]].

===Gimli===

{{main|Gimli (Middle-earth)}}

'''Gimli (Middle-earth)|Gimli''' was chosen by [[Elrond]] to be one the nine [[Fellowship of the Ring (characters)|Fellowship]] and befriended [[Legolas]] during the [[War of the Ring]].

===Glóin===

'''Glóin''' was the son of [[Thorin I]], and succeeded his father as the king of [[Durin|Durin's folk]]. He expanded the mines of the [[Ered Mithrin]], and further abandoned [[Erebor]].

===Glóin, son of Gróin===

'''Glóin, son of Gróin''', was the father of Gimli and was one of Thorin Oakenshield's companions in ''The Hobbit''. He was the son of [[Gróin]], the grandson of [[Borin#Named_Dwarves|Borin]], the younger son of King [[Náin II]], and so could claim direct descent from [[Durin]] the Deathless himself. [[Óin]], another of Thorin's companions, was his brother. Glóin and his son went to Rivendell in time for the Council of Elrond, telling tales about the Lonely Mountain, Moria, and what they knew of Sauron's plans. Gimli became a member of the Fellowship of the Ring.

Glóin is a hero unit for the Dwarves in ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II|the Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II]]'', along with his son Gimli and [[Dáin II Ironfoot|King Dáin II Ironfoot]]. He fought alongside Glorfindel in the battle for the north.

===Gróin===

'''Gróin''' was one of the Lords of the Lonely Mountain and the father of Glóin.

===Grór===

'''Grór''' was the younger son of King [[Dáin I]], and younger brother of [[Frór]] and [[Thrór]]. When Thrór left the [[Iron Hills]] to reclaim the Kingdom of [[Erebor]], Grór remained behind, ruling over the majority of Durin's folk even if his brother was King. The murder of Thror resulted in the climatic [[Battle of Azanulbizar]] in the year 2799. It is very likely that Gror had learned of the death of his brother, although his age may have been a factor that kept him from participating in the war, as his death was in 2805, five years later.

'''Ibûn''' was one of the last of the [[Petty-dwarf|Petty-dwarves]] and son of Mîm.

The two brothers were described as being young in Dwarf terms, being younger than the rest by some fifty years, and having the best eyesight. They are consistently described as being cheerful, being the only two to come out of the barrels at Lake-Town "more or less smiling." ''' Kili''' was one of the Dwarves, who, along with Fili, fell, defending Thorin from attack during the Battle of the Five Armies.

===Náin II===

'''Náin II''' was a [[Durin's folk|King of Durin's Folk]], son of [[Óin]]. Under Náin II, the Dwarves lived peacefully in the [[Ered Mithrin]], until they were attacked by [[dragons (Middle-earth)|dragon]]s. He was succeeded by his son, [[Dáin I]].

Years later, Ori travelled south with [[Balin (Middle-earth)|Balin]] and a force of Dwarves, on a fatal attempted journey to reclaim their ancient mansions of [[Moria (Middle-earth)|Khazad-dûm]], which were presently occupied by the [[Orc (Middle-earth)|Goblins]]. Ori and the remaining Dwarves perished during a final stand inside the [[Chamber of Mazarbul]].

During his rule [[Gimli (Middle-earth)|Gimli]], son of [[Glóin]], led a number of Dwarves south to [[Aglarond]], where a new Kingdom was settled. Also during his rule mining for [[mithril]] in [[Moria (Middle-earth)|Moria]] slowly began again, although Moria was not yet permanently settled.
