Gimli is one of the main protagonists in J.R.R Tolkien's fantasy epic novel, The Lord of the Rings, and in Peter Jackson's film trilogy of the same name respectively.
He is a stubborn, belligerent, good-hearted, independent, mischievous, loud, ill-tempered, generous, intelligent, meticulous, loving and idealistic dwarf who joins the Fellowship of the Ring to destroy the One Ring, and kill many orcs along the way. He is close friends with Aragorn and Legolas but still clashes with the elf due to the thousand year old feud between elves and dwarves. He participates in many battles including Moria, Helm's Deep, Pelennor Fields and the Black Gate. His weapons include twin hatchets and a giant battle axe. He is very stubborn and often explains the stubbornness of dwarves. He loves fighting and even when outnumbered, he never backs down and always competes with Legolas to kill more orcs than him.
He is portrayed by John Rhys-Davies.
