Thorin Oakenshield is the final dwarf to be revealed from Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit."
I missed a few along the way, but here is the final new dwarf (I'll play catchup soon), revealed to fan site TheOneRing.net.
According to the information released along with the photo: "As a young Dwarf prince, Thorin witnessed the destruction and terror wrought when a great fire-breathing Dragon attacked the Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor. After slaughtering many of Thorin’s kin, the great serpent, Smaug, entered The Lonely Mountain and took possession of its vast store of gold and jewels. No-one came to the aid of the surviving Dwarves, and thus, a once proud and noble race was forced into exile. Through long years of hardship, Thorin grew to be a strong and fearless fighter and revered leader. In his heart a fierce desire grew; a desire to reclaim his homeland and destroy the beast that had brought such misery upon his people. So when fate offers him an unusual ally, he seizes the chance for revenge."
"The Hobbit" will be presented at two films. The first, titled “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” will be released on Dec. 14, 2012. The second, titled “The Hobbit: There and Back Again,” is slated for release the following year, on Dec. 13, 2013.
