Thorin and Company refers to the thirteen exiled Dwarves under the leadership of Thorin Oakenshield and the one Hobbit Bilbo Baggins, who famously made the Quest of Erebor, travelling through the Misty Mountains and the Wilderland to the Lonely Mountain, to recover their ancient treasure from the Kingdom of Erebor, stolen by the Dragon Smaug.

Thorin's company were:

• Balin and Dwalin, sons of Fundin (descendants of Náin II)
• Óin and Glóin, sons of Gróin (cousins of Balin and Dwalin)
• Fíli and Kíli, brothers, nephews of Thorin
• Dori, Nori and Ori (Dwarves of the House of Durin)
• Bifur with his cousins Bofur and Bombur (descendants of the Dwarves of Khazad-dûm)
• And Bilbo Baggins, a Hobbit of the Shire

They were joined by Gandalf for part of the journey.

Thorin referred to himself and his Dwarven companions as "Thorin and Company" in the opening line of the message left on Bilbo's mantelpiece after the unexpected party at Bag End.

  The Company in The Hobbit film series

1967: The Hobbit (1977 film):

The entire company marches out to join the Dwarves of the Iron Hills in facing the men and elves. Seven members of the company are killed or mortally wounded during the Battle of Five Armies. Or these, only Thorin and Bombur are identified by name.

2007: The Lord of the Rings Online

All surviving members of the Company appear in the game. After the Battle of Dale the Dwarves and Gandalf pay homage to the tombs of Thorin, Fíli and Kíli, which are now next to that of King Dáin Ironfoot.

2012-14: The Hobbit film series:

The thirteen Dwarves all feature in the films, although they do not wear coloured hoods, and are given more developed and distinct personalities as opposed to the novel. The Dwarves battle with Smaug, instead of hiding from him, in the "Battle of the Forges". The Company is broken only once; when four of the Dwarves stay behind in Lake-town prior to the death of Smaug. While Thorin is under the influence of dragon-sickness, Gandalf says that "there is no Company, not anymore". But all thirteen Dwarves and Bilbo Baggins fight in the Battle of the Five Armies, where Thorin, Fíli and Kíli are slain.
