Rereading The Hobbit...

I was rereading The Hobbit, and I was wondering about something.

(spoilers below)









I noticed that the Lord of the Eagles seemed to pop up suddenly, and then disappear rather quickly; he stayed around just long enough to save Gandalf, Bilbo and the dwarves, but had no real importance to the plot other than that. So I was wondering- other than his very brief appearance at the Battle of Five Armies, does the Lord of the Eagles ever show up again, in LoTR or in The Silmarrilion?

In fact, I noticed several characters in The Hobbit that seemed to come uot of nowhere and disappear to nowhere, saving the travelers in the process. Besides the eagles, you (sort of) had Beorn, and, although Gandalf had a very great bearing on the story, he did the 'show up just in time to save them' thing quite often.

So, to repeat my question, did the Lord of the Eagles (or Beorn, for that matter) ever show up again?
