Thorin and Company refers to the thirteen exiled Dwarves under the leadership of Thorin Oakenshield and the one hobbit Bilbo Baggins, who famously traveled through 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, descendants of Náin II
- Óin and Glóin, cousins of Balin and Dwalin
- Fíli and Kíli, nephews of Thorin
- Dori, Nori, Ori, Dwarves of the House of Durin
- Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, descendants of Dwarves of Moria[1]
- And Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit of the Shire[2]
They were joined by Gandalf for part of the journey.
Thorin introduced as "Thorin and Company", in the opening line of the message that he left for Bilbo on the hobbit's mantelpiece after the unexpected party at Bag End.[3]
