The elder son of Gróin, Óin lived for over 200 years in the Third Age. A member of Thorin and Company, he remained in Erebor after Smaug's death in T.A. 2941. In T.A. 2989, he accompanied Balin to Khazad-dûm. Five years later, Óin was slain by a tentacled Watcher in the Water at the Orc-infested stronghold also known as Moria.
Character[]
Like his younger brother Glóin, Óin was a northern Dwarf deeply loyal to the royal house of Dúrin. Like his brother he was an experienced traveler, survivalist, and especially firestarter. Óin was often a bit forgetful and could be quite argumentative - he could often be seen quarreling with his brother. Of all the Dwarves of Thórin's company Óin was the only adept Healer and physician.
