His whole look is fierce and tough, and he is clothed in garments with a fur collar, cut in strong angles to make him look wolflike. His iconic style is a bald head, with a scar across one eyebrow. The Most Loyal In The Foldĭwalin is Thorin’s right-hand man, his most loyal counterpart, and the most well-trained soldier. His other most distinctive characteristic is that his weapon of choice is a bow and arrow.

Kili is most known as the dwarf who falls in love with Tauriel, the she-elf. The weapons were designed to be asymmetric, to reflect that Fili and Kili are not identical, but at the core, they are the same, loving loyal characters.įili is next in line for the throne after Thorin, and bears the weight of this responsibility. To reflect this, Fili was designed with twin swords and twin daggers.

Fili and Kili are the twins, the youngest members of the team.


Thorin means ‘darer’ - the one who dares to reclaim the kingdom, and his whole personality was built around this stubborn, loyal and proud concept. He is described in the book as having "a forked beard he tucked in his belt," but Jackson and the team moved away from this style, giving Thorin a short beard in the films as a ‘singed beard’ which was a mark of respect to all of the dwarves who were burned in Erebor when Smaug came. Thorin needed to look regal, he was the leader of the whole expedition, and the one upon whom audiences, and the other dwarves in the story, would be pinning all of their hopes. The three most easy to distinguish, because they are the three in the direct royal line from Durin, and also the three that are targeted in the ambush on Ravenhill are Thorin, Fili, and Kili.
