Boromir

"I do not know strength is in my blood, but I swear to you, I will not let the White City fall, nor our people fail."

"Our people, our people. I would have followed you, my brother... my captain... my king."

~ Boromir's final words after Aragorn makes a pact sworn in blood.
Boromir was a soldier of Gondor, a member of the Fellowship of the Ring and one of the many heroes in J.R.R Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and Peter Jackson's films of the same name respectively. He was once the captain of the guard of Minas Tirith. He was the son of Denethor, the Steward of Gondor and the older brother of Faramir, captain of the Gondorian Rangers. Like his father, he is "cursed" with Isildur's greed and is obsessed with the Ring. He believes that with the Ring in Gondor's possession, they could win the war against Sauron. He joins the fellowship so he could take the ring from Frodo and return it to Gondor but becomes attached to his comrades. After failing to obtain it, he become guilty and pays for it. In a battle against Saruman's Uruk-Hai, he is pierced by three arrows and dies. He never believed that Aragorn was destined to be king but after Aragorn promised him that he will protect Gondor in his stead, Boromir learned to accept him. His primary weapons are a shield and sword and he carries a horn and blows it whenever he is in danger. He was portrayed by actor Sean Bean. He was a primary character in The Fellowship of the Ring, but after his death, he is only mentioned and seen in flashbacks in the other two films.
