Boromir

==Summary==
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 Ithilien 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 becomes 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.

Moreover, similar to Aragorn and other Faithful Dúnedain/Númenóreans, Boromir likely would have remained in his physical prime had he lived until his natural death as his kind are capable of relinquishing their lives upon sensing the coming of their physical aging and withering into senility), Blessed (As a man of "high Númenórean lineage", Boromir was therefore blessed with a diminished form of the blessings given to the Númenóreans)The Nature of Middle-Earth, Part Two: Body, Mind, and Spirit, VI DESCRIPTIONS OF CHARACTERS with the abilities of possibly Enhanced Senses, Regeneration (Low), and Resistance to Disease Manipulation (Dúnedain/Númenóreans possessed several blessings alongside their enhanced physiques.The Nature of Middle-Earth, Part Three: The World, its Lands, and its Inhabitants, XI Lives of the Númenóreans As the blessings did not run as true in Boromir as they did in Faramir, these specific abilities are only rated as possibly present), Acausality (Type 2; Changes to the past or future are unable to affect the "Music in being", otherwise referred to as the present)Morgoth's Ring: PART FIVE. III.. Resistance to Mind Manipulation (The barrier of Unwill within every individual mind prevents mental penetration by even the likes of Sauron without consent.)The Nature of Middle-Earth, Part Two: Body, Mind, and Spirit, IX ÓSANWE-KENTA. and Soul Manipulation (Soul with free-will are considered indestructible)Letters of Tolkien: Letter 211. 
Limited Sound Manipulation with the Horn of Gondor (By blowing into his horn, Boromir is capable of producing such a loud sound that forces of over a hundred can be intimidated into pause or even temporary retreat. Even Durin's Bane, a Balrog, briefly paused upon hearing the sound)The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, V The Bridge of Khazad-dûm
Attack Potency: Wall level (Legolas claims Boromir and Aragorn to be the strongest members of the Fellowship.The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, III The Ring Goes South While Legolas is ignorant to Gandalf's true nature, this does mean Boromir should be superior to the likes of Gimli, who is comparable to Thorin.While Boromir does fail to successfully injure a Troll in Chapter Five of Book Two, this can be attributed to the nature of Troll skin being more resilient to slashing attacks and the quality of his blade. Across the Trilogy, blunt and sharp attacks from comparable or inferior characters are the only ones that have been depicted as wounding Trolls Boromir was capable of slaying "many orcs", who should be superior to the humans left behind in Isengard while Saruman's warriors went to battle.The Lord of the Rings: The Two Tower, Book Three, I The Departure of Boromir Said humans were capable of harming Ents with enough effort, even being capable of wounding them severely with "heavy" strikes.The Lord of the Rings: The Two Tower, Book Three, IX Flotsam and Jetsam Ents are capable of performing this feat)
Speed: Peak Human, possibly Superhuman
Lifting Strength: Peak Human, possibly higher
