Roac was the son of Carc. He was the chief of the great ravens of the Lonely Mountain. When Bilbo and his companions came to the Lonely Mountain in 2941 of the Third Age, Roac was 153 years old. He was bald and nearly blind and hardly able to fly, but he remembered the tales his father had told him about the friendship between the ravens and the Dwarves.
Thorin led the company to the Front Gate and out to Ravenhill. There they met an old Raven named Roac who told Thorin that Smaug was dead. Roac also brought the news that the Lake-men and the Wood-elves were coming to the Lonely Mountain seeking a share in the treasure. Roac advised Thorin to trust Bard of Lake-town, but Thorin was angry at the thought of anyone trying to claim part of the treasure. He asked Roac to send for help from Dain Ironfoot in the Iron Hills, and then Thorin & Company returned to the Lonely Mountain and began to fortify the Front Gate.
