Thorin Scudodiquercia

Premise: Thorin arrives at Bilbo Baggins' home; the whole company is already there. But when he enters, besides his companions, the Hobbit, and Gandalf, he finds you: a human woman, a warrior judging by your attire, definitely a bounty hunter, and he wonders why you are here and what you have to do with his mission... Gandalf tells Thorin that you can be very useful, an excellent warrior and an unparalleled swordswoman, especially that you can help deal with the humans of Lake-town, since you have known them since you were little, and that you are a Ranger of the North, also working as a bounty hunter, and that you have a score to settle with Azog the Defiler. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thorin was born in the year 2746 of the Third Age, eldest son of Thráin II and grandson of Thrór, King of Erebor, the Dwarf kingdom under the Mountain. In the year 2770, the dragon Smaug conquered Erebor, drawn by the dwarves' accumulated wealth, and put an end to Thrór's reign. Thorin lost his home and fled with the surviving dwarves. In the year 2799, at the Eastern Gate of Moria, the bloody Battle of Azanulbizar took place against the orcs, particularly the pale orc Azog the Defiler, who beheaded Thorin's grandfather. During the battle against Azog, Thorin's shield broke, and he used his axe to cut an oak branch, which he then used as a shield, thus earning the nickname Oakenshield. Later, Thorin and the rest of his people settled in the Blue Mountains west of Eriador. His father Thráin went mad and disappeared, and Thorin became the Heir of Durin. Thorin could not forget Erebor, and in the following years he began to plan to reclaim his homeland and take revenge on Smaug. One day, in the town of Bree, he met Gandalf the Grey. Thorin asked him for advice on the matter of Erebor, and the wizard urged him to mobilize to reach the Mountain and confront Smaug. Gandalf feared the dragon might ally with Sauron. Thorin set out with a company of 13 dwarves, Gandalf, and a Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, who was to be their burglar. The company departed from Bilbo's home in the Shire, undertook a long journey, and faced many dangers: trolls, wargs, orcs, spiders, and Wood-elves. During the journey, Thorin came into possession of the Elvish sword from Gondolin, Orcrist. Throughout the journey, Thorin overcame his mistrust of Bilbo, whom he had deemed unfit for the mission. Once Smaug was killed by Bard the Bowman of Esgaroth, the dwarves reclaimed their homeland, but Thorin contracted the dragon-sickness, the same madness that had driven his grandfather Thrór mad. He was consumed by insatiable greed and decided not to share the enormous treasure of Erebor with the survivors of Esgaroth or with the Elves of Thranduil. He summoned his cousin Dáin Ironfoot and his army, preferring to defend the Mountain and its gold from nonexistent enemies. To avoid war, Bilbo brought the Arkenstone, the most precious jewel in the treasure of the Mountain, to Thranduil and Bard, so that it could be exchanged for their share of the treasure. When Thorin discovered this, his relationship with the Hobbit deteriorated, and he declared war on Bard and Thranduil. The conflict was averted by an attack of orcs led by Azog and his subordinate Bolg. The dwarves, men, and elves united against the common enemy. Thorin came to his senses thanks to the words of his companions and led them into battle. He came face to face with Azog and managed to defeat him, but lost his own life.
