Dírhael

Dírhael was the grandfather of Aragorn II Elessar and father of Gilraen. He was a descendant of Aranarth, the first Chieftain of the Dúnedain and the husband of Ivorwen. Their daughter Gilraen married Arathorn II, Aragorn's father.The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A: Annals of the Kings and Rulers, I: The Númenórean Kings, (iii): "Eriador, Arnor, and the Heirs of Isildur"
==Biography==
Dírhael was a stern man who found it hard to show his emotions. When Dírhael and Ivorwen lived in the north before Gilraen was born, he and Arador had been close friends and he watched over Arathorn's early years. As a protective father he was resistant to the relationship that started to grow between his daughter and Arathorn. His foresight also told him there was trouble ahead.
