'''Dáin II''' ([[Third Age]] 2767 – 3019, aged 252 years) was a descendant of [[Grór]], the youngest son of [[Dáin I]] of [[Durin's folk]], and was lord of the Dwarves of the [[Iron Hills]] in [[Wilderland]]. He followed his father, [[Náin]], in lordship after Nain was killed by the great Orc [[Azog]] during the Battle of Azanulbizar, the final conflict in the [[War of the Dwarves and Orcs]]. Azog was killed by Dáin himself. He was a very young Dwarf at the time, and it was heralded as a magnificent feat. Dáin alone looked past the gate into [[Moria]], and had the wisdom to know that it was impossible for the Dwarves to return at that time. He returned to the Iron Hills with his people and became the new lord of the Iron Hills.

Dáin was the the second-cousin of [[Thorin Oakenshield]], and responded to Thorin's call for help during the quest to reclaim [[Erebor]]. Dáin set out with more five hundred Dwarves, and arrived just in time for the [[Battle of Five Armies]] (as recounted in ''[[The Hobbit]]'').

After Thorin's death, Dáin became [[King under the Mountain]] and King of Durin's folk. Dáin was killed during the [[War of the Ring]] in 3019 [[Third Age|T.A.]], defending the body of King Brand of Dale before the gates of Erebor. He was, by then, an extremely old Dwarf but far from feeble. After the war he was succeeded by his son, [[Thorin III Stonehelm]].
