Finnur

Finnur was the husband of Dis, and brother-in-law to Thorin Oakenshield. Finnur was one of Thrain's companions who set out with his king for the quest of Erebor in T.A. 2841. A survivor of the War of the Dwarves and Orcs, Finnur married Thorin's sister after the war and eventually fathered Fili in T.A. 2859 and Kili in T.A. 2864. By T.A. 2883, he sat out with Gandalf the Grey in order to recover the lost items of Durin.

Finnur was never fully content after his failure to protect his king and father-in-law Thrain. When Thrain disappeared, Finnur blamed himself. Though Dis tried to comfort him, he never forgot his failure, and it would be this notion that would prove his undoing for he was loyal to a fault. Thus when Gandalf returned to Eriador, Finnur sought him out. After careful deliberation it was decided that he along with many other companions would adventure in Moria to try and recover the lost items of Durin.

Gandalf agreed to the adventure, but the quest would claim Finnur and Hildifons's life. For it was in Moria where the two would fall. It was Finnur's death though, that would prompt Fili and Kili to accompany their uncle on the quest for Erebor--but like their father, the quest would claim their lives as well.
