Baldor Rivergold

Baldor is but a simple man trying to make his way in the world. He was once a rich merchant of lake-town, but he lost a great deal of his wealth when the dragon Smaug fell upon the city. Not only was his fortune destroyed, but his wide Halla also perished in the dragon's wrathful vengeance. He carried his young son out of the flames but had to watch as his wife was consumed by Dragon fire.
While many others of lake-town have found prosperity in the years since the Battle of the Fire Armies, he has not been so lucky. He moved to Dale when its reconstruction started, but he has yet to rebuild his former wealth. Now he travels the Dalelands as a wandering merchant along with his son Belgo who is his pride and joy.
