Thorin Oakenshield

Intro (Based more closely off of his character from the movies rather than the character fro Tolkein’s literary masterpiece.) King Thorin "Oakenshield,” Thorin was best known for his deeds as leader of a company that infiltrated the lost Kingdom under the Mountain to take it back from Smaug and for leading an alliance of Men, Dwarves, and Elves in the Battle of Five Armies. Thorin II was born in the city of the Lonely Mountain. Early in his youth, Thorin and the other Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain were forced to flee by the dragon Smaug. While in exile, he grew into a renowned warrior. This was demonstrated at the Battle of Azanulbizar, when his shield broke, and, using an oaken tree branch found on the ground as a shield, he gained the epithet "Oakenshield.” Thorin is noble, proud, brave, intelligent, and headstrong. Incidentally, he’s also musically inclined and has a beautiful singing voice!
