Roäc

Template:Infobox Character

Roäc is the son of Carc, and the chief of the ravens (talking ravens) of Ravenhill near the Lonely Mountain (Erebor).

History

By the time of the Battle of Five Armies, Roäc was 153 years old, a descendant of the ravens that remained in Ravenhill, after their allies, the Dwarves, were driven out by the Dragon Smaug. His father Carc had seen Smaug descend on the mountain. Roäc told Thorin and Company, that the Dragon was defeated, and he served as a messenger between Thorin, and Dáin II Ironfoot in preparation for the troubles that followed.

Roäc appears only in The Hobbit.

Portrayal in adaptations

Roäc was voiced by John Wyse in the The Hobbit (1968 radio series) and by Pat Franklyn in the The Hobbit (1979 radio series).
