Middle-earth Film Saga[]

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug[]

Elros is the "keeper of the keys," keeping the keys with him at all times. He is convinced by Galion and Feren to drink with their tastiest wine. After they become drunk, Bilbo Baggins, who has himself concealed thanks to the Ring, steals the keys from Elros to free the dwarves.

According to the narrator in the books, no one knows what became of Elros because they had simply been written out of the story.
