In briefanswer capsule

The Dwarves give the name Durin to the first of their Seven Fathers and to the Longbeard kings who sprang from him. He made his home above Kheled-zâram, later Khazad-dûm, and lived far beyond the span of later Dwarves, so that he was called the Deathless. He died before the Elder Days ended; five later heirs received his name.
