Gimli, son of Gloin, is a well-respected dwarf warrior in Middle-earth. He is a member of the Fellowship of the Ring, and is the only dwarf to readily fight alongside men and elves in the war against Sauron at the end of the Third Age.

Gimli is the son of Glóin, one of the former companions of Bilbo Baggins. He is by far remote a descendant of Durin the Deathless, father of the Dwarven people Gimli belongs to, but is not a member of the royal line. (Gimli is also the first cousin once removed of Balin, Lord Of Moria.)
