The Great Eagle was the Lord of the Eagles in the Third Age and perhaps a descendant of Thorondor.[source?]
He resided in the eyrie of the Misty Mountains with 15 chieftains, and remembered helping Dwarves in his service.
Once he suffered from a poisoned wound, and was healed by Gandalf and thenceforth they became friends.
During the Quest of Erebor, they saved Thorin and Company as they flew from the Goblin-town and brought them to the eyrie;[1] later they played a crucial role in the Battle of Five Armies (T.A. 2941).[2] After this he became King of All Birds and wore a golden crown.[3]
Background
It is often thought that the Great Eagle is the same individual as Gwaihir. Among several points which separate the two, the Great Eagle is mentioned to wear a crown after The Hobbit but no crown is mentioned with Gwaihir in The Lord of the Rings.
