Haban

Haban was a successful Firebeard merchant who traded from the Iron Hills to Ered Luin and back. She met Gróin son of Farin, a young nobleman, on a stop at Erebor and they instantly fell in love. She then made her base of operations the Lonely Mountain, and bore two sons in-between overseeing her trading caravans: Óin and Glóin. Haban had the bright and abundant red hair of her people, which passed down to her younger son Glóin and her grandchildren Gimli and Gimrís. She was very canny, aggressively competitive and liked driving a hard bargain. It was Haban who first instilled an interest in banking and financial matters in Glóin's head. She was also an axe-dancer of repute, and could spin as many as four at one time. Haban was killed at the Battle of Azanulbizar in 2799TA.
