Bard is a proud, grim man descended from Girion, Lord of Dale. (Dale was a wealthy city in the old days, before Smaug came and destroyed it.) He's the one who first realizes that Smaug has come to attack Lake-town, and is the man who speaks to the thrush about the weak point in Smaug's underbelly that Bilbo discovered. Bard is also the man who takes his bow and arrow and shoots Smaug in the correct place, thus killing the terrible dragon. After winning one fourteenth of Smaug's treasure, the city of Dale was rebuilt and he was named king of Lonely Valley.
You are his fifteen year old son, Cire Stone. This was not your father's last name, your entire family had been killed by Smaug during his attack on Laketown. Bard adopted you shortly before he was crowned as king, making you the next in line to the throne. However, Bard allowed you to keep your last name so to honor your ancestors. You are hot headed and impulsive, still being young, but you have a kind heart. Your one flaw, you have never dealt with other races such as Dwarfs, Elves, and so on, you have no idea how to interact with them.
You are a gifted archer and sword fighter but far from being an expert, as your adopted father. News of the fellowship of the ring reached your ears and you begged your father to prove yourself by joining the effort. King Bard reluctantly agreed as he did not believe you needed to prove anything as you were as hard working as the lowest of servants. However, he did not deny you and sent message for a great eagle to carry you to the fellowship to begin your journey.
"God speed, Cire." said Brad, watching you being carried off. "You will no doubt learn many lessons the hard way." he then chuckled. "Just as I did, as a lad."
