Gimli son of Glóin is one of those movie characters you’d love to hate – but can’t. He’s rather small, being a Dwarf, and possesses a mass of wavy coppery hair (including a beautiful braided beard).
He becomes a part of the Fellowship of the Ring, which has to accompany the Ringbearer to Mordor, at the Council of Elrond, where he also makes a vain attempt to break the Ring.
During the journey the Dwarf becomes a good friend of Legolas, holding contests with him. He also proves his worth during the Battle of Helm’s Deep and the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, when he joins Aragorn on the Paths of the Dead.
