NOTE: This page is for the version of Kíli from the Peter Jackson continuity. You may be looking for more info on his mainstream counterpart.

Kíli is one of the two tritagonists of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit film trilogy (along with Fíli). He was the Prince of Erebor. He was the younger brother of Fíli, the son of Dís, Thorin's sister, nephew of Thorin Oakenshield, the grandson of Thráin, and great-grandson of Thrór. Being one of the younger members, Kíli wishes to prove himself to his uncle and his elders.

Eventually, he became a companion and friend of Bilbo Baggins. He is partner-in-crime with his brother Fíli, and these brothers are best friends. Kíli also was romantically attached with the Silvan elf, Tauriel. He never got to have a relationship with her as he was killed before his time.

Kíli is portrayed by Aidan Turner in the film adaptations.

Roles[]

He serves as a major character in The Hobbit trilogy, being one of the twelve tritagonists of An Unexpected Journey (along with Fíli, Dwalin, Balin, Bifur, Bofur and the other dwarves), and a major character in both The Desolation of Smaug and The Battle of the Five Armies.

Personality[]

Kíli acts like the typical, reckless teenager, and the dwarf-equivalent to an eighteen-year-old, cheerful and energetic. In Bilbo's house, he rubs his boot on Bilbo's treasured box that belonged to his mom. He also sent Bilbo to face the trolls on his own, seemingly not caring what happened to him. That was until the trolls caught Bilbo in their hands, which was when Kíli was the first to rush for the hobbit's rescue. Regardless, Bilbo felt responsible and rescues him from the Trolls. He gets into more trouble than his older brother and acts childish.

He is a bit worrisome, hot-tempered, and arrogant. Despite this, Kíli's heart is in the right place, and caring for everyone close to him. He has keen eyesight. Kíli is young and foolish, and according to Thorin, knows nothing of the outside world. While Fíli is more responsible than Kíli is he is sort of the opposite. Kíli also is protective of his friends and family. He is caring for his brother, uncle, Bilbo, and also his mother. He loved Tauriel with his heart and was willing to die for her. Kíli is also young and innocent and when he's killed, innocence is no longer available in the Battle.

He loves his family very much. When Azog kills his brother, Kíli grows vengeful and wishes him to kill him, avenge his brother's death but it turns the other way around.

In the movies, Kíli has shoulder-length hair that is the color brown. His eyes are brown as well. He has hardly a beard and long hair. However, in the book, he has yellow hair and a yellow beard.

Abilities[]

  • Archery: Kíli is a skillful archer, and is the only member in the Company to wield a bow and arrows. He used it once while an attack on Wargs went amiss and they tried to kill his uncle. He also fired at them extremely well in An Unexpected Journey when the Wargs were surrounding them. In the last hobbit film, Kíli fires an arrow well while he, Fíli, Balin, and Dwalin are on a chariot.
  • Sword fighting: He learned how to sword fight, but hardly uses a sword. Kíli was even able to fight at the arrows coming at him in AUJ.
  • Singing: Kíli can also sing like his uncle and brother. He sang What Bilbo Baggins Hates and was a background singer in "The Misty Mountains Cold".

Weapons[]

  • Bows and Arrows: For a time, Kíli possessed bows and arrows. He fired them in the Hidden Valley and when they were in the Troll-shaws. He lost them in the Misty Mountains when they were captured by Goblins.
  • Sword: Kíli's weapon that he hardly uses, and eventually uses it in the Misty Mountains and mostly uses it after losing his bow and arrows.
