"BRING YOUR PRETTY FACE TO MY AXE!"
QUICK BIO
BIOGRAPHY
Gimli is one of the noble Dwarves of Erebor, the Lonely Mountain and his father is Gloin, one of the 13 Dwarves that set out to take back their homeland from the Dragon, Smaug.
He can be easily described as stubborn, tough, proud and indomitable. But all in all, he is a mighty-warrior, and maybe his bad temper adds to that.
He wears full armour consisting of a heavy mailshirt, leather armour and an ornate Dwarvish helmet. He carries many weapons around such as a bearded axe, two throwing axes, a walking axe, a battle axe and a double-bladed axe.
Gimli did not go to Rivendell with regards to the One Ring, but to seek Elronds advice. But as a result he ended up representing his race, and forms one part of the Fellowship of the Ring at 139 years old, which made him 52 years older than Aragorn.

Like most Dwarves, Gimli has a deep-seated mistrust of Elves and their strange and sorcerous ways. Along the journey, Legolas and Gimli tend to always battle wits, but as they get closer to helping destroy the One Ring of Power, their friendship grows.
When the Fellowship travelled through the Mines of Moria, Gimli is left in grief due to seeing the tomb of Balin.
When they were caught by the Elves of Lothlórien (which made him the first Dwarf to enter those woods) he fell in awe for Galadriel, and before he left he asked her for a strand of her hair. Although he only asked for one, Galadriel gave him three, which in turn would years later name Gimli the ‘Lockbearer’ by Galadriel.
After the battle at Amon Hen, he, along with Legolas and Aragorn, form the three hunters and go in search of Merry and Pippin. They battle together right up till the very end.

Playing a critical role in the Battle of Helms Deep, Gimli won the friendly contest (to see who could killed the most Orcs) against Legolas by only one Orc.
Gimli travelled through the Dimholt with Aragorn and Legolas to command the King of the Dead to fight one last time with them. And after some trials, they took on the Corsair ships, and then sailed them to the battle of Pelennor Fields at Minas Tirith.
Once defeated, he travelled with the company to the Black Gates of Mordor to help Frodo and Sam destroy the One Ring.
