Gimli, a Dwarven Warrior, volunteered to the Council of Elrond to represent his people and to protect Frodo on his journey to destroy the Ring and become part of the Fellowship of the Ring. He has a deep loyalty to their quest to destroy the One Ring. Gimli will do anything to protect his friends from attacks by their enemies. His short stature will not stop him from battling the grotesque, yet powerful Uruk-Hai warriors bred by Saruman to attack the Fellowship and capture the Ring for their master.
