Aragorn (Adventure: Grey Company)

"All that is gold does not glitter
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes, a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king."
—Bilbo Baggins, the Riddle of Strider

For the first few decades after leaving his childhood home of Rivendell, Aragorn II traveled Middle-earth in secret to aid the Free Peoples against Sauron. He worked often with his Dúnedain kin as well as the Sons of Elrond. He served both Ecthelion of Gondor and Thengel of Rohan in disguise, became friends with Gandalf the Grey and even explored the depths of Moria and the Far East of Middle-earth. When his time came, the broken blade of Elendil was reforged by the Elves of Rivendell and he joined the Fellowship of the Ring in the quest to defeat Sauron once and for all. This quest would lead to him being a major leader and powerful warrior for the Free Peoples in some of the most important battles of the War of the Ring, eventually culminating in the defeat of Sauron and his coronation as King Elessar.

In Age of the Ring, Aragorn has multiple variations amongst different factions. He has a unique version of himself as a main hero in the Adventure: Grey Company subfaction. This version of Aragorn is also the same one that is utilized for the Lord of the Rings campaign, where he plays a critical role in several of its missions.

## Strategy

Aragorn as he appears in the Adventure: Grey Company subfaction and the Lord of the Rings campaign operates similarly to his Strider incarnation, in standard play, albeit with some differences. He is more durable than his Rivendell counterpart, although he does not have access to the **Andúril, Flame of the West** upgrade. He can alternate between bow and sword depending on the situation as a hero in Adventure: Grey Company, although his Campaign version is limited to his sword. **Kingsfoil** allows him to heal nearby friendly heroes, which is especially important in the LOTR campaign as the death of a hero in many missions will lead to an instant defeat. **Faithful Protector** significantly increases his already significant combat prowess to incredible levels, allowing him to shred through armies or more easily defeat high priority enemy targets such as heroes or monsters, like Lurtz in the campaign. **King of Men** gives Aragorn the ability to support his allies, automatically granting them a passive +33% armour and temporarily augmenting it further with a significant +50% damage boost and immunity to fear and terror. Aragorn serves as a powerful and versatile hero with both supporting capabilities and skill in direct combat, and knowledge of how to judiciously utilize his skills is critical to ensuring victory in the many difficult missions of the Lord of the Rings campaign.
