===The Hobbit===
In the book, Dáin comes to his cousin Thorin's aid after getting a message from Roac the Raven. After Thorin's tragic demise in battle, Dáin becomes king under the Mountain. He gave a fourteenth of Bilbo's treasure to Bard and offered Bilbo even bigger part of the treasure but Bilbo turned him down. Dáin instead just gives him a small portion to Bilbo's request. Dain also granted the emeralds of Girion to King Thranduil, who prized them greatly.
===The Lord of the Rings===
Dáin works with his friend King Brand to defend their people from Sauron's forces. However, Dáin and Brand are both killed protecting each other in self defense. News of their deaths reaches Gandalf and Pippin Took in Minas Tirith, much to the former's sadness. 
He is succeeded by his son, Thorin III Stonehelm and Brand is succeeded by his son Bard II.
