Thorin Oakenshield

Thorin Oakenshield is the leader of the band of dwarves who wants to reclaim  his lost kingdom and gold form the dragon; Smaug. He used a piece of  bark as a shield  in the battle against Azog, thus being  dubbed 'Oakenshield'

Personality
Thorin was smart, proud, brave, intelligent and vengeful. He was infamous for a high sense of importance and rank, but valued very nearly every individual of any status. He was extremely noble and highly respectable with a flair of vanity about him. He was respected by many throughout middle earth.

He shared the greed of his family and had an extensive love for gold, though he valued the welfare of others as well. He was immensely brave and was willing to give himself up for any just cause, though this may be to a limit since the upcoming of the Battle of the Five Armies might have come as an exception.

In some cases he could be bitter, sly and aggressive, particularly when faced with the likes of Smaug and Azog, and sometimes even Gandalf. He was very trustworthy and had an exceptional level of honour.

Thorin was a born leader and carried the blood of a true warrior deep within him.

Until the time of his death, he seemed to be cruel, stubborn and vain, and had a very high opinion of value. He was obsessed with possession of the Arkenstone, since it was the heirloom of his family and part of the Mountain itself.
