Chapter Text
Dwalin Ferguson, Bofur Kellenger, and Nori Reynolds had the most unusual upbringing of anyone they knew. When they were kids, their families would often send them over to the house of a nice, old lady named Dahlia Randall to be looked after. They spent so many weekends at “Aunt Dahlia’s” that they came to think of her as family, as much as they did their real families.
Eventually the three young men grew up and went their separate ways, until “Aunt Dahlia” passed away and left her house to all three of them in her will.
Reluctantly, the stringent Dwalin, sharp-witted Bofur, and headstrong Nori returned to one another’s lives, moving into the house together and agreeing to share in its expenses.
Everything seemed to be normal. That is, until one night when Nori found an old book in the attic, titled Durin’s Book of Dwarrow Magic , and thus discovered the secret truth of their ancestries...
Untold ages ago, a prosperous nation of dwarves was governed by three powerful families. Each family possessed not only political power, but also magical power...until one day when an evil wizard placed a curse on the entire race, declaring that their children would gradually be born taller and taller, until eventually they would be indistinguishable from humans and their entire culture would be lost, their magic diminished.
Flash forward to the modern age, and to Nori reading an incantation from the book, out loud, at last restoring the powers of the three families to their latest descendants.
Dwalin received the power to move things with his mind. Bofur gained the ability to freeze time. And Nori became the recipient of visions of the future.
Together they form The Power of Three Dwarves, and with these powers they were also bestowed with the responsibility to protect innocent people from orcs, goblins, and other forms of evil that continue to walk the earth even to this day…

I’m basically imagining modern day Dwalin looking like Graham McTavish. A little younger, maybe, and clean shaven.
My concept of Bofur and Nori is less specific, but this will give you an idea of their facial hair at least:
Bofur:
