Bard

Bard is a pretty important person in the story of the Hobbit. Bard is a brave, grim-voiced man that lead the archers while the dragon was attacking the lake Town. Bard's friends had accused him of prophesying floods and poisoned fish, they did know his worth and courage though. Bard was a decendent of a long line of Girion, Lord of Dale, whose wife and child had escaped down the Running Ricer from the ruin long ago. Because he was of the race of Dale, he could understand the talk of thrush birds. This fact helped him kill the dragon. The thrush told him that the dragon had a hollow spot in his scaly armor on the left side of the dragons chest. Bard had really good aim and he shot with his last arrow and killed the dragon. This helped the dwarves because they no longer had to kill the dragon. Bard was a hero in his land, and he decided that he deserved some of the treasure. Bard killed the dragon and that is very important.
