Dori and his brothers, Nori and Ori, were among the thirteen companions of the great Thorin Oakenshield on the Quest of Erebor. Dori was often responsible on that journey for keeping an eye out for the Company's burglar, the hobbit Bilbo Baggins. He proved quite dissatisfied with the task, but nonetheless tried his best.

Now he acts as an emissary to the dwarf-mines of Othrikar in the North Downs, investigating the troubles that have kept the mine unprofitable. His grumpy demeanour hides a keen wit that will no doubt uncover the dangers in the North . . . or get him into trouble himself.

Dori appeared first in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, prominently complaining throughout the book about having to carry Bilbo Baggins throughout various dangers (eventually dropping him in Goblin-town, leading to Bilbo's discovery of Gollum's Cave.) Players in LOTRO will meet and interact with Dori, both on and off the battlefield.
