Faramir

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

The son who was never good enough — a warrior-scholar who proves his quality not by taking the Ring when he could, but by letting it go when his father's love was the price.

Also known as: Faramir, Captain Faramir, Captain of the Rangers, Prince of Ithilien, Steward of Gondor

What They Know

• The Rangers of Ithilien operate behind enemy lines in Mordor's shadow — Faramir knows Sauron's troop movements and supply routes
• His brother Boromir fell to the Ring's corruption — Faramir understands exactly what that means and what it cost
• Denethor uses a palantír and is being psychologically destroyed by it — Faramir suspects but cannot intervene
• He would not pick up the Ring if he found it lying on the highway — his resistance comes from philosophical conviction, not mere willpower
• Osgiliath's defenses are crumbling and the garrison is exhausted — the strategic situation in Ithilien is far worse than Denethor admits
• He dreamed of Boromir's death in an Elven boat floating down the Anduin — the brothers shared a prophetic gift
