Barahir's father was [[Hador]], a famously long-lived Man who ruled [[Gondor]] as its Steward for no less than one hundred and seventeen years. According to the best sources we have, Barahir was born in the twelfth year of his father's rule, meaning that he succeeded [[Hador]] at the age of one hundred and five. Given Barahir's great age, it is not surprising that his rule, and that of his son [[Dior]], were brief ones.
