From Wikipedia:
Later known as Bard I, he appears in The Hobbit. Bard of Esgaroth was a
skilled archer and the heir of Girion, the last king of old Dale. He was
described as "grim faced" and while a guardsman of Esgaroth he was often
predicting floods and poisoned fish. He rallied the guards to defend the town
when the Dragon came. Bard was able to slay the dragon Smaug with the Black
Arrow after a tip from the old thrush (who had overheard Bilbo Baggins'
description of Smaug) had revealed an unarmoured spot on the dragon's underside.
Bard claimed a twelfth of the treasure amassed by the dragon, which he
subsequently shared with the Master of Esgaroth to rebuild the town, but the
Master stole the money and ran off into the wild where he died. After its
rebuilding, Bard was the first king (Bard I) of restored Dale, followed by his
son Bain, grandson Brand, and great-grandson Bard II. In Peter Jackson's
upcoming three-part adaptation of The Hobbit, Bard will be played by Welsh actor
Luke Evans.
