Arnard Blackbeard

Arnard Blackbeard was one of the many children of King Duor Greatbeard, who ruled over Duorendain in the early Fourth Age. Although not inheriting the title of King, he did head the Blackbeard family, which was well respected within the dwarven kingdom.

By the time of the main storyline, due to some inter-species breeding, there is a human lineage of the Blackbeards, the most known being Captain Jack Blackbeard. However, a dwarven line of the name still exists.
