Biography: Eldest son of Denethor II, Boromir was a proud man: proud of himself, and his city. After leading the
forces against Sauron at Osgiliath, he went to Rivendell to learn of the answer to the dream he shared with his brother
Faramir. At the Council of Elrond he was chosen as a companion in the Fellowship of the Ring. Boromir could be credited
with Aragorn for saving the lives of the Fellowship on Caradhras, tunneling through the snow to get the party to safety.
Boromir was valiant in battle, as he proved in Moria. However, Boromir had been tempted by the power of the Ring since
he first learned of its whereabouts, and the temptation finally proved too much for him at Amon Hen, where he attempted
to take the ring from Frodo by force. He instantly repented, but his rant forced Frodo's immediate decision to leave the
Fellowship, and strike out for Mordor on his own. Boromir was killed shortly thereafter, defending Pippin and Merry from
a raiding orc-band.
