'''Peregrin Took''' was one of the [[Hobbits]] in the [[Fellowship of the Ring]]. He was the youngest of the Company, being in his tweens, but grew up quickly and eventually became a Knight of Gondor. [[Elrond]] at least seemed to doubt his capability for the quest, but Pippin proved to be a loyal and courageous friend.

==His life==

He was born in the [[Third Age]] 2990 to [[Paladin Took II]] and [[Eglantine Banks]]. He had three older sisters, [[Pearl Took]], [[Pimpernel Took]], and [[Pervinca Took]].

He was a part of the [[Conspirators]], and eventually joined Frodo on his quest to destroy the One Ring, along with his friends [[Meriadoc Brandybuck]] and [[Samwise Gamgee]]. At [[Bree]], his 'Tookish' qualities got the group into trouble, when he inadvertantly caused the One Ring to fall upon Frodo's finger.

After reaching [[Rivendell]], he, with Merry, insisted on not being left behind on the Quest of the Ring. Therefore they were chosen as the eighth and ninth members of the [[Fellowship of the Ring]].

In [[Moria]], Pippin carelessly dropped a stone down a well, alerting the orcs which had inhabited the mines of the Company's presence.

Captured along with Merry upon Amon Hen by a band of [[Uruk-hai]], Pippin displayed a keen sense of intelligence by leaving a trail of footprints and dropping his [[Lórien]] brooch for Aragorn to find. They eventually escaped to become the first mortals for many centuries to encounter the [[Ents]] of [[Fangorn Forest]].

Pippin was also present at the destruction of [[Isengard]], but was soon taken by Gandalf to [[Minas Tirith]], after looking into the palantir of [[Orthanc]] and being mistaken by Sauron for the Ringbearer. There he pledged allegiance to [[Denethor]] and became a Guard of the Citadel. During the [[Siege of Gondor]], he helped save the life of [[Faramir]], and at the [[Battle of the Morannon]] he slew a troll in defense of [[Beregond]].

Along with Merry, he led the victory at the [[Battle of Bywater]], and eventually married Diamond of Long Cleeve. They had a son named Faramir.

Pippin retired to [[Gondor]] in the year 64 of the Fourth Age, and when he died his bed was laid beside that of Merry and the King [[Elessar]].

==Portrayal in adaptations==
Peregrin Took was played by [[Billy Boyd]] in [[Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings]].

{{quote|. . . But he was called Estel, that is "Hope", and his true name and lineage were kept secret at the bidding of Elrond; for the Wise then knew that the Enemy was seeking to discover the Heir of Isildur, if any remained upon the earth.|[[Appendix A]]}}
'''Aragorn II''' ([[Third Age]] March 1, 2931 – [[Fourth Age]] 120, aged 210 years) was the son of [[Arathorn II]] and [[Gilraen]]. He was was a [[Chieftain of the Dúnedain]] and a direct descendant through many generations of [[Isildur]], the last [[High King]] of both [[Arnor]] and [[Gondor]]. Aragorn would become the greatest man of his time, leading the [[Men of the West]] against [[Sauron]]'s forces, helping to destroy the [[One Ring]], a reuniting the [[Reunited Kingdom|Kingdoms of Arnor and Gondor]].

Aragorn was named after his ancestor, [[Aragorn I]]. His name means "Lord of the Tree" in [[Sindarin]].

==History==
When Aragorn was two years old, his father was slain when a [[Orc]] arrow pierced his eye. As was the tradition of his people, Aragorn was fostered in [[Rivendell]] by [[Elrond]]. By Elrond's order, his identity was kept secret, as he feared he would be slain like his father and grandfather. Aragorn was named '''''[[Estel]]''''' ([[Sindarin]] for "Hope") instead, and was not told about his heritage until he came of age in 2951.

Elrond revealed to "Estel" his true name and ancestry in 2951, when Aragorn was twenty years old, and delivered to him the shards of [[Narsil]] and the [[Ring of Barahir]]. The next day, in the woods of Rivendell, Aragorn met and fell in love with [[Arwen Evenstar|Arwen]], daughter of Elrond, who had newly returned from [[Lórien in Middle-earth|Lórien]].

Aragorn took up his proper name as Aragorn II, sixteenth of the Chieftains of the Dúnedain, and went into the [[Wild]].

In 2953 he was not present in Rivendell for the last meeting of the [[White Council]]. Aragorn met [[Gandalf the Grey]] in 2956, and they became great friends. At Gandalf's advice he started to become interested in the [[Shire]], and became known around the area as '''''Strider'''''.

From 2957 to 2980 Aragorn took great journeys, serving in the armies of King [[Thengel]] of [[Rohan]], and Steward [[Ecthelion II]] of Gondor. Many of his tasks weakened [[Sauron]] and his allies, which during the [[War of the Ring]] helped the West survive. His name in Gondor and Rohan was '''''Thorongil''''' (Sindarin for "Eagle of the Star"), and with a Gondorian attack force he led an assault on the [[Haven of Umbar]] in 2980, taking the city and slaying its lord. Later in 2980 he was in Lórien, and there once again met Arwen. He gave her the heirloom of his House, the [[Ring of Barahir]], and Arwen pledged her hand to him in marriage.

Elrond gave his foster-son permission to marry his daughter, on the condition that he must first become king of both Gondor and Arnor, for only a king would be worthy of Arwen's hand. This may seem a harsh condition, but it should be noted that it is significantly more lenient than the closest precedent, King [[Thingol]]'s request that [[Beren Erchamion|Beren]] obtain a [[Silmarils|Silmaril]] from [[Morgoth]] before marrying his daughter [[Lúthien]].

In 3009, Aragorn went into [[Rhovanion]] in search of [[Gollum]] at Gandalf's request, and he finally caught him in the [[Dead Marshes]] in sight of [[Mordor]], and brought him as a captive to King [[Thranduil]]'s halls in [[Mirkwood]], where he questioned him.

On September 30, 3018, Aragorn was waiting in the Inn known as [[The Prancing Pony]] in [[Bree]], where he met up with [[Frodo Baggins]], and began his role in the War of the Ring. Aragorn was aged 87 at that time, but because he is of [[Númenórean]] blood he appeared to be in his prime.

The restoration of the line of Elendil to the throne of Gondor is a major subplot of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'': Aragorn's adventures not only aid Frodo in his Quest, but also bring him closer to the kingship (a move which is politically very complicated). Upon [[Sauron]]'s defeat, in late 3019, Aragorn is crowned as '''''King Elessar''''' ([[Quenya]] for "[[Elessar of Eärendil|Elfstone]]"), a name given to him by [[Galadriel]]. He marries Arwen Undómiel shortly afterwards, and rules the [[Reunited Kingdom]] of Gondor and Arnor until year 120 of the [[Fourth Age]]. He died after 210 years of life and 122 years of reign. His wife Arwen, now mortal, gave up her life shortly afterwards in year 121, aged 2,901.

He founded the [[House of Telcontar]], and was succeeded by his son [[Eldarion]]. He also had a number of daughters, whose names were not recorded.

Through his ancestor Elendil, Aragorn is a descendant of the [[Númenóreans]], great [[Men]] who were granted long lives by the [[Valar]]. Though [[Númenor]] was destroyed, its people lived on as the [[Dúnedain]], and like their ancestors they too were long-lived. Thus Aragorn lived to a great age, finally passing on at 210 years.

==Other versions of the legendarium==
In the earliest unpublished versions of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' (see ''[[The History of The Lord of the Rings]]''), the character that later became Aragorn was called '''''[[Trotter]]''''' instead of Strider, and was a [[Hobbit]] instead of a [[Men|Man]]. He has wooden feet, because he had once traveled to Mordor and been tortured there.

In Ralph Bakshi's animated film [[Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings|The Lord of the Rings]], Aragorn is voiced by [[John Hurt]].

In [[Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings]], Aragorn is played by American actor [[Viggo Mortensen]]. Instead of explaining the complicated circumstances of an heir of Isildur taking the throne in Gondor (see [[Pelendur]] for an example), in the movie Aragorn must overcome his self-doubt to choose the kingship. This cinematic element adds appeal to a modern audience, but in the books there is no doubt of his purpose to return as the king.

{{Pronounce|Gimli.mp3|Ardamir}}
[[Image:John Howe - Gimli.jpg|thumb|left|''Gimli'' by [[John Howe]]]]
'''Gimli''' ([[Third Age]] 2879 – [[Fourth Age]] 120, aged 262 years when he sailed into the [[West]]) was the son of [[Glóin son of Gróin|Glóin]] and a member of the [[Fellowship of the Ring]].

He was 62-years old when [[Thorin Oakenshield]] began the [[Quest of Erebor]], but was considered "too young" to go on the quest with his father as a member of [[Thorin and Company]].

He was apointed to the Fellowship of the Ring by [[Elrond]], for he had come with his father to the [[Council of Elrond|Council]] to report the messenge from [[Mordor]]. During the ensuing quest he discovered [[Balin]]'s tomb in [[Moria]], and fought [[Orcs]] in the [[Chamber of Mazarbul]], and can be credited as one of the few [[Dwarves]] who saw [[Durin's Bane]] and live. His good relationship with [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] was shown in his invitation for him to come with him to see [[Kheled-zâram]]. In [[Lothlórien]] he submitted to being blindfolded under the condition that [[Legolas of Mirkwood|Legolas]], the elf in the company, was also. But his heart softened upon meeting the Lady [[Galadriel]], from whom he requested three strands of her golden hair, and from whom he recieved them with her blessing.

After the [[Breaking of the Fellowship]] at [[Parth Galen]], he hunted Orcs across [[Rohan]] with [[Aragorn II|Aragorn]] and Legolas. He fought at the [[Battle of the Hornburg]], there in a contest with Legolas killing forty-two Orcs, beating his opponent by one. He fought bravely at the [[Battle of the Pelennor Fields]], and also at the [[Battle of the Morannon]].

After the the [[War of the Ring]], he brought many Dwarves from [[Erebor]] to the [[Glittering Caves]] to start a colony, and made his home there. He was called "Lord of the Glittering Caves".

Gimli was famed for his long friendship with Legolas; It is said that they sailed into the [[West]] together. Gimli was the first and only Dwarf to go to the [[Undying Lands]].

Boromir

2006-10-07T22:35:13Z

81.158.37.114: /* Boromir in the Films */

''(For other characters see [[Boromir|Boromir (disambiguation)]])''
{{Pronounce|Boromir.mp3|Ardamir}}
'''Boromir''' was the eldest son of [[Denethor II]], last ruling [[Stewards of Gondor|Steward of Gondor]] in the Third Age of [[Middle-earth]], older brother of [[Faramir son of Denethor II|Faramir]]. He was one of the Nine Walkers who made up the [[Fellowship of the Ring]] in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''.

== Boromir in the Books ==
[[Image:Angelo Montanini - Boromir.jpg|thumb|''Boromir'' by [[Angelo Montanini]].]]
In response to a prophetic dream, Boromir rides to [[Rivendell]] where he is invited to attend the [[Council of Elrond]]. There he attempts to persuade the Council to let him take the [[One Ring]] to [[Gondor]] so that it can be used in the defence of the realm, but is told that it cannot be used without corrupting its user and alerting [[Sauron]] to its presence.

He subsequently joins the Fellowship of the Ring and travels with them through [[Moria]] and then [[Lórien]], where he is greatly disturbed by [[Galadriel]]'s testing of his mind.

[[Image:Ted Nasmith - Boromir's Last Stand.jpg|thumb|left|''Boromir's Last Stand'' by [[Ted Nasmith]].]]
Seduced by the lure of the [[One Ring]], he tries to seize it from [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] at [[Amon Hen]], leading to the breaking of the Fellowship. He dies at age 41 trying to prevent [[Orcs]] from capturing [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Merry]] and [[Peregrin Took|Pippin]] in the beginning of ''[[The Two Towers]]'', thereby redeeming himself for trying to take the Ring.

== Boromir in the Films ==
In [[Ralph Bakshi]]'s [[Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings|animated film]], and in the subsequent BBC Radio broadcast, he is played by [[Michael Graham Cox]]. In ''[[Peter Jackson's The Fellowship of the Ring]]'', Boromir is played by [[Sean Bean]]. Differing from the book, Boromir dies (killed by the [[Uruk-hai]] leader [[Lurtz]]) at the end of the film instead of the beginning of ''[[The Two Towers]]'' (the first chapter of the ''Two Towers'' novel is moved to the end of the Fellowship movie; the two scenes covered the same scene in the story from different perspectives).

The extended cut (not the original theatrical version) of the movie of [[Peter Jackson's The Two Towers]] includes a scene not taken from the book in which Boromir and his brother Faramir see each other for the last time, and we see their father Denethor's attitude toward his two sons. At the Council of Elrond at Rivendell, Boromir says that his prophetic dream came to first his brother, Faramir, and then to him, on the night before an attack on [[Osgiliath]]. This reference to Osgiliath may be the inspiration for the flashback scene in The Two Towers.

In the theatrical version of [[Peter Jackson's The Return of the King]] Boromir is seen in a brief flashback being pierced by arrows, as Pippin explains to Denethor the circumstances of his death. This was apparently enough to give Sean Bean his own portrait in the film's closing credits. In the extended cut, he is seen again in a vision of Denethor's, walking proudly towards his father until he fades away.
