After Aragorn's death, Gimli left Middle-earth with Legolas in the year 120 of the Fourth Age.[1] His great love for the Lady Galadriel and friendship to Legolas earned him the title Elf-friend.
Adaptions
In Peter Jackson's film adaptations of The Lord of the Rings, Gimli is played by actor John Rhys-Davies, who was actually the tallest member of the main cast in real life.
