Farin is an original creation for ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring]]'' film.

==History==
Farin was a [[Dwarves|dwarf]] of [[Third Age|the Third Age]] who lived in [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]]. When [[Elrond]], the Lord of [[Rivendell]], invited representatives of factions of [[Free peoples|the Free peoples of Middle-earth]] to a Council which aimed to answer the growing threat of [[Mordor]], the [[King under the Mountain]] [[Dáin Ironfoot]] sent multiple dwarven emissaries to attend. Farin, [[Gimli]], [[Thrarin]] travelled to Rivendell as council attendees, accompanied by [[Glóin]] and [[Grimir]].

Farin sat between Gimli and [[Erland]] and the Council commenced discussion. When Gimli attempted to destroy [[the One Ring]] with his axe, it shattered and he was thrown onto the floor. Farin and Thrarin helped Gimli up.

The Council erupted into a furious bout of yelling as they disagreed on what should be done with the Ring. Farin got up and began yelling at the Elves, focusing on [[Silinde]] of [[Mirkwood]]. The argument raged on until [[Frodo Baggins]], the [[Shire-hobbits|Shire-hobbit]] who brought the Ring to Rivendell, volunteered to take the Ring to Mordor and destroy it. Farin watched as eight others, including Gimli, offered to join Frodo on his quest. He sat back down and watched Lord Elrond dub Frodo and his eight companions "[[Fellowship of the Ring|The Fellowship of the Ring]]".
