The
Dwarves
Fíli
PLAYED BY: DEAN
O’GORMAN
Fíli and his brother
Kíli are among the
youngest of Thorin’s
dwarves. Both were
raised by Thorin,
their uncle, and as
such they’re both
skilled fighters
with a strong
sense of honour.
Fíli has never seen
the dwarven city
of Erebor, and
his youth means
he’s not entirely
prepared for the
dangers he’ll face.
Kíli
PLAYED BY: AIDAN
TURNER
Fíli’s younger
brother Kíli is
carefree almost
to the point of
recklessness.
Thankfully, his
expertise as an
archer often proves
more than enough
to get him out of a
bind. Both Fíli and
Kíli are eager to
prove their worth to
the group.
Balin
PLAYED BY: KEN
STOTT
Balin is of noble
descent, and is one
of the group’s oldest
members. He is wise
and gentle, despite
being forced to live
a life embittered
by war and the
endless fight for
survival. Balin is one
of Thorin’s most
trusted advisors, yet
he can’t help but feel
a flicker of doubt
as to the wisdom
behind their quest.

Gandalf
the Grey
PLAYED BY: SIR IAN MCKELLEN
A powerful wizard (and a hero
that needs no introduction to
fans of Tolkien’s works), Gandalf
accompanies Bilbo and the dwarves
for much of their quest. When
whispers arise that an ancient evil
may be returning to Middle-earth,
he is forced to part with his dear
companions and venture elsewhere
to discover the true nature of a
terrible darkness that threatens to
engulf the world.
Radagast
the Brown
PLAYED BY: SYLVESTER MCCOY
Radagast is friend and fellow wizard
to Gandalf the Grey. He serves
as a protector of Middle-earth’s
ancient forests. Incredibly eccentric,
Radagast feels more of an affinity
with animals and the forests than it
seems he does with other people. As
such, he senses the growing darkness
in Middle-earth that overshadows the
quest to destroy Smaug.
