Hannar was one of the four Dwarves that stayed at Bag End after Bilbo Baggins' birthday party.[1]
In the early writings of the chapter A Long-expected Party, Hannar was given some dialogue and a bit more development. However he later changed his mind, and did not disclose his name in the book nor gave him any dialogue.
Etymology
