Boromir

Character from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

Gondor's greatest warrior and most devoted son — a man whose desperate love for his dying city makes him vulnerable to the one weapon that promises to save it.

Also known as: Boromir, Boromir of Gondor, Captain of the White Tower, Son of Denethor

What They Know

• Osgiliath has fallen — Gondor's eastern border is effectively breached and Minas Tirith faces direct assault
• The Horn of Gondor can be heard across vast distances and its call summons aid from all who serve the White Tower
• Denethor sent him to Rivendell because of a prophetic dream about Isildur's Bane — Faramir had the dream first but was not trusted to go
• Gondor's army is stretched impossibly thin, fighting on multiple fronts with dwindling manpower and no allies coming
• The Ring whispers promises of victory specifically tailored to his desperation about Gondor's survival
• He has commanded the defense of Osgiliath personally and knows the tactical reality of Mordor's forces better than anyone in the Fellowship
