Boromir

## Background

**Boromir** is a primary protagonist of *The Lord of the Rings*. He is a man of the Kingdom of Gondor from the Third Age, serving as the Commander of Gondor's military and the eldest son of the Ruling Steward of Gondor, Denethor II. At the behest of his father, Boromir travelled to Rivendell, where he became one of the members of the Fellowship of the Ring.

Though valorous and powerful, Boromir's main quest was not to destroy The One Ring of Sauron in Mount Doom, but instead to take it to Gondor and use it against Sauron's forces. This plan was turned on its head, however, as The One Ring corrupted Boromir's mind and made him antagonistic towards his allies. He eventually redeemed himself by protecting the Hobbits until his death.

Instead, Boromir is a proud and loyal warrior of Gondor whose only faults come from his abundance of that pride and loyalty. He is extremely dedicated to the kingdom and people of Gondor, to the point where his main goal is securing the One Ring specifically to protect it from Sauron. This desire for the ring eventually corrupts him, though this is through the Ring's evil power. He still cares much for his allies and seeks to protect them at all costs, even giving up his own life), **Chaotic Neutral** when possessed by The One Ring (Those under the direct influence of The One Ring act as a man possessed, and will become entirely focused on it. They will lash out in anger if it is moved or threatened to be taken, and become overly worried if they happen to misplace it. People will sacrifice their own lives for the sake of owning The One Ring, due to Sauron's corruptive madness)

**Sword**
* **Shield:** A circular shield that Boromir held at his side up until his death. It's size and metal plating proved it to be incredibly useful.

**Shield**
* **Golden Belt of Lórien:** A belt that appeared as though it were linked by golden leaves. This was the gift that Galadriel bestowed upon Boromir, once he and the rest of the Fellowship of the Ring were to depart from Lothlórien.

**Golden Belt of Lórien**
* **Horn of Gondor:** Also known as the Great Horn, it was an heirloom of the House of Húrin. Blowing the horn holds many different meanings. It can be used for celebration, as seen when Boromir sounded the horn after he'd been chosen to join the Fellowship of the Ring. But it can also be used for warning or a cry for help, seen during Boromir's last stand.
