Mîm lived with his two sons at ] in middle ], where he kept a secret treasury. During ]'s time with the Outlaws, Mîm and sons were seen as they sneaked past the outlaws carrying heavy sacks. Mîm was captured, and arrows were shot at his sons '''Ibun''' and '''Khîm'''. |

In exchange for his life, Mîm was forced to lead the outlaws to his secret halls in Amon Rûdh. There, it turned out Khîm had been killed by an arrow, and Túrin repenting offered his service to Mîm. For this reason Mîm tolerated the outlaws, and although he never loved Túrin, the dwarf at least came to respect him. |

When ] Cúthalion arrived at Amon Rûdh, Mîm was angry: he hated ], especially the ]. Nevertheless he had to tolerate the Elf in his halls. After Amon Rûdh was betrayed to ], Mîm somehow escaped, but it seems Ibûn was killed by ]s. Eventually Mîm made his way to ruined ] after ] had killed ], and took the treasure for his own. |

] Thallion, who had seen all that had happened to Túrin with Morgoth's eyes, came across Mîm in Nargothrond, and killed him, deeming him partially responsible for Túrin's fate. With his dying words Mîm cursed the treasure. Húrin's band brought the treasure of Nargothrond to ], where eventually the gold was a reason for the Sack of Doriath and the death of ]. |

Note that in the published '']'' Mîm hardly appears. His ro\le is much expanded in the ] as published in '']''. |

In earlier versions of ''The Silmarillion'' as detailed in '']'' series, Mîm was a much more evil character. But as ] gradually changed in Tolkien's writings from evil Orc-like beings to the Dwarves they later became, Mîm's character was changed, and in the final texts he is no longer a true villain, but almost a tragic character in his own right. |
