BOROMIR, SON OF DENETHOR
Boromir is the firstborn son of Denethor Steward of the Gondor and Finduilas. He was born in TA 2978 and was heir to the Stewardship of Gondor. He was more interested in war and tales of old battles, which was contrast to Faramir's love of lore, history and music. However, he was very protective and supportive of his brother even though their father did not favour Faramir. He is the Captain General of the armies of Gondor. In TA 3018, he set out with the rest of the Fellowship towards Mordor. He was seduced by the power and will of the One Ring and died defending the hobbits Merry and Pippin at Amon Hen on February 26, 3019 TA. His name means 'Faithful Jewel'.
DENETHOR, SON OF ECTHELION
Denethor is the son of Ecthelion Steward of Gondor. He was born in TA 2930. He married Finduilas and had two children, Boromir and Faramir, but favoured more of Boromir. His rule began to fail when he started to use the palantir more frequently, falling more and more into despair, which was intensified at the loss of Boromir in Amon Hen. He died by throwing himself into a pyre on March 15, 3019 TA at the age of 89. His name means 'Little and Lank'.
EOWYN, DAUGHTER OF EOMUND
Eowyn is the daughter of Eomund and Theodwyn. She was born in TA 2995. Upon the death of their parents, she and Eomer was sent to live with their uncle, Theoden, king of Rohan. Upon times of crisis, she was always left to mind the people. During the war of the Ring, Eowyn fell in love with Aragorn but when he let her down gently, she seeked out for glory and death in battle. She disguised herself as Dernhelm and rode out with the Muster of Rohan. She and Merry fought the Witch King in Pelennor Fields but were injured greatly. She recovered in the House of Healing in Minas Tirith, where she met, fell in love with and later married Faramir. Her name means 'horse joy'.
THEODEN, SON OF THENGEL
Theoden is the son of Thengel and Morwen, born in TA 2948. He had married Elfhild and had one son, Theodred, who died in the Fords of Isen. Elfhild herself had died in childbirth. During his years as King, he fell into the spell of Saruman and the counselor Grima Wormtongue. He was able to recover from the spell with thanks to Gandalf the White. He led his army through the Battle of Helm's Deep and Battle at Pelennor Fields but fell defending Minas Tirith on March 15, 3019 TA. He was 71. He was the last of the second line and was succeeded by his nephew, Eomer. His name means 'ruler'.
GRIMA (WORMTONGUE), SON OF GALMOD
