Bifur, along with his cousins Bofur and Bombur, was a companion to Bilbo Baggins and Thorin Oakenshield on the quest of Lonely Mountain (Erebor). His parents are unknown, and most of his familial relations are unclear. As shown at Bag End, Bifur played the clarinet.
History
Bifur was a descendent of the Dwarves of Khazad-dûm, but was not of Durin's Folk. He fought at the Battle of the Five Armies and lived. Following the defeat of Smaug, he remained at the Lonely Mountain.
Portrayal in adaptations
Bifur was played by Brian Haines in The Hobbit (1968 radio series), and will be played by William Kircher in the upcoming Hobbit films.
