The Two Towers, The Riders of Rohan
Aragorn II, the son of Arathorn II and Gilraen, also known as Elessar as well as
Strider. 16th Chieftain of the Dnedain of the North; he was later crowned King
Elessar Telcontar (March 1, 2931 - FO 120 or SR 1541), the 26th King of Arnor, and
the 35th King of Gondor and first High King of Gondor and Arnor, since the short
reign of Isildur. He was a great warrior, and as the heir of Isildur bore the
shards of Narsil, reforged and renamed Andril, in the War of the Ring.

Biography
Early years
Aragorntoddler
Aragorn as a toddler, portrayed by Luke Johnston in the fan film Born of Hope
He was Aragorn son of Arathorn, the nine and thirtieth heir in the right line from
Isildur, and yet more like Elendil than any before him.
The Silmarillion, Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age
Aragorn was a descendant of Elros Tar-Minyatur. His ancestor Arvedui was wedded to
Friel, who was descended from Anrion, who bore their son Aranarth, making Aragorn
the last descendant of Anrion as well.
When Aragorn was only two years old, his father Arathorn was killed while pursuing
orcs. Aragorn was afterwards fostered in Rivendell by Elrond. At the request of his
mother, his lineage was kept secret, as she feared he would be killed like his
father and grandfather if his true identity as the descendant of Elendil and Heir
of Isildur became known. Aragorn was renamed Estel and was not told about his
heritage until 2951.[5]
Elrond revealed to "Estel" his true name and ancestry when he was twenty, and gave
to him the Ring of Barahir and the Shards of Narsil. Elrond withheld the Sceptre of
Annminas from Aragorn until he "came of the right" to possess the item. It was
also around this time that Aragorn met and fell in love with Arwen, Elrond's
daughter, newly returned from her mother's homeland of Lrien where she had visited
her grandmother Galadriel.[5]
Aragorn thereafter assumed his proper role as the sixteenth Chieftain of the
Dnedain and the Rangers of the North, and left the comforts of Rivendell for the
wild, where he lived with the remainder of his people, whose kingdom had been
destroyed through civil and regional wars centuries before.[5]
Aragorn met Gandalf the Grey in 2956 and they became close friends. Heeding
Gandalf's advice, Aragorn and the Rangers began to guard a small land known as the
Shire inhabited by the diminutive and agrarian Hobbits, and he became known among
the peoples just outside the Shire's borders as Strider.
From TA 2957 to TA 2980, Aragorn undertook great journeys, serving in the armies of
King Thengel of Rohan, and Steward Ecthelion II of Gondor. Many of his tasks helped
to raise morale in the West and counter the growing threat of Sauron and his
allies, and he earned priceless experience which he would later put to use in the
War of the Ring. Aragorn served his lords in disguise and his name in Gondor and
Rohan during that time was Thorongil ("Eagle of the Star"). With a small Gondor
squadron of ships, he led an assault on the long-standing rebel province of Umbar
in 2980, burning many of the Corsairs' ships and personally slaying their lord
during the battle on the Havens. After the victory at Umbar, "Thorongil" left the
field and, to the dismay of his men, went east.[6]
Later in 2980, he visited Lrien, and there once again met Arwen. He gave her the
heirloom of his House, the Ring of Barahir, and, on the hill of Cerin Amroth, Arwen
pledged her hand to him in marriage, renouncing her elvish lineage and accepting
the Gift of Men: death.[5]
Elrond withheld from Aragorn permission to marry his daughter until such a time as
his foster son should be king of both Gondor and Arnor. As both Elrond and Aragorn
knew, to marry a mortal, Arwen would be required to choose mortality, and thus
deprive the deathless Elrond of his daughter while the world lasted. Elrond was
also concerned for Arwen's own happiness, fearing that in the end she might find
death (her own and that of her beloved) too difficult to bear.[5]
Before the events of The Lord of the Rings properly take place, Aragorn also
traveled through the Dwarven mines of Moria, to Harad, where (in his own words)
"the stars are strange." Tolkien does not specify when these travels occurred nor
does he indicate what happens when Aragorn visits.
In 3009, Gandalf grew suspicious of the origin of the ring belonging to the Hobbit
Bilbo Baggins, which later turned out to be the One Ring, the source of the Dark
Lord Sauron's evil power. Aragorn went at his request into Rhovanion in search of
Gollum, who had once possessed the Ring. He caught the creature in the Dead Marshes
near Mordor, and brought him as a captive to Thranduil's halls in Mirkwood, where
Gandalf questioned him.[7]
Aragorn joined Frodo Baggins, Bilbo's adopted heir, and three of his friends at the
Inn of the Prancing Pony in Bree.[8] Though originally the hobbits were suspicious
of Strider, they eventually trusted him and prepared to escape Bree and the
Ringwraiths.[9] These four had set out from the Shire to bring the One Ring to
Rivendell. Aragorn was aged 87 at that time, nearing the prime of life for one of
royal Nmenrean descent. With Aragorn's help, the Hobbits escaped the pursuing
Nazgl.[10] The elf-lord Glorfindel later arrived and led them to Rivendell.[11]
There, Aragorn chose to join Frodo, thus forming the Fellowship of the Ring that
was formed to guard Frodo, tasked with destroying the Ring in the fires of Mount
Doom in Mordor. Besides Aragorn, Gandalf, and Frodo, the company included Frodo's
cousins Pippin and Merry, his best friend Samwise Gamgee, Legolas the elf, Gimli
the Dwarf, and Boromir of Gondor.[7]
Aragorn accompanied the group through an attempt to cross the pass of Caradhras and
through the mines of Moria. He helped protect Frodo from an Orc captain and became
group leader after Gandalf was presumed lost in battle with a Balrog.[12] Aragorn
led the company to Lrien, where Lady Galadriel gave him the Elessar.[13]
After Lrien, Aragorn and the Fellowship sailed down the river Anduin to the Falls
of Rauros. Though his original plan was to set out for Gondor and aid its people in
the War, he felt responsible for Frodo after the loss of Gandalf.[14]
Fear not! he said. "Long have I desired to look upon the likenesses of Isildur and
Anarion, my sires of old. Under their shadow Elessar, the Elfstone son of Arathorn
of the House of Valandil Isildur's son heir of Elendil, has naught to dread!
Aragorn proclaiming his lineage[14]"
Death of Boromir
Aragorn saying goodbye to Boromir after his death
After passing into the Argonath, the Fellowship camped in Amon Hen. Frodo saw that
Boromir had been driven mad by the influence of the One Ring trying to take it.
Frodo put the ring on, rendering him invisible, and ran away from Boromir. Frodo
climbed to the high seat on Amon Hen; from there he could see Sauron's eye looking
for him. The Hobbit felt the eye but it was distracted by Gandalf the White later
found in Fangorn Forest by (Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli looking for Merry and
Pippin.) Frodo would struggle against the power of Sauron, finally taking the ring
off. Then Frodo knew what had to be done: He was to go alone to Mordor to destroy
the ring. On the way back to the river he meets Sam, who goes with him.
At this same time, the others were attacked by Saruman's Uruk-hai and a battle
ensued. During the ensuing battle, Boromir was killed defending Merry and Pippin
and giving up his desire for the ring in a last attempt to resist the ring. After
discovering that Frodo had left, Aragorn and the others decided that they would
leave Frodo and Sam to continue their quest on their own. Legolas, Gimli, and
Aragorn put Boromir's body and war gear in one of the elven boats as a funeral boat
and tribute to Boromir for his bravery and courage. His body would be sent to the
Falls of Rauros.[15]
While Frodo continued his quest with Samwise Gamgee, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli
went to Rohan to free Merry and Pippin, who had been captured by the Uruk-hai
working for Saruman.
In the fields of Rohan, the Three Hunters Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli encountered
omer, who had recently been pursuing rumours of an orc raid in the area. From
omer, Aragorn learned that the Orcs who had kidnapped Merry and Pippin had been
destroyed and that the Hobbits had not been found. Dejected, he led Legolas and
Gimli to the site of the battle. Clues led Aragorn to believe that the Hobbits
might still be alive, and he led the Three Hunters into Fangorn Forest.[16] They
did not find the Hobbits, but they did find Gandalf the White, sent back from
Valinor to continue his struggle against Sauron. Gandalf told the Three Hunters
that the Hobbits were safe with the Ents of Fangorn.[17]
Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli then help the people of Rohan in the Battle of the
Hornburg, in which they conclusively and victoriously defeated Saruman's army.
[19]Afterward Aragorn went with Gandalf to Isengard only to find Isengard in ruins
by the work of the Ents. Aragorn, being present with Gandalf, Theoden, omer,
Legolas and Gimli, negotiate in a final parley with Saruman. Saruman at first tries
to bend Theoden to his will and at first Theoden is almost swayed but then he
masters his will and refuses to join with Saruman. Saruman then sneers at Theoden
and turns his attention to Gandalf and tries to sway him, only to be laughed at.
Then Gandalf offers him a chance of repentance without limits. Saruman turns white
in his face at this, sadly in the end however Saruman refuses to repent out of
pride and to leave Orthanc. Gandalf breaks Saruman's staff as he is no longer the
head and is banished from the Order of Wizards and The White Council. After Saruman
crawls away, Grima Wormtongue then throws the Palantr of Orthanc at Gandalf as he
and the others are leaving the Orthanc tower. But misses not being able to decide
who he hated more Gandalf or Saruman. Thus ending the Battle of the Hornburg and
the Battle of Isengard.[20]
In order to defend the city, Aragorn travelled the Paths of the Dead, and summoned
the Dead Men of Dunharrow who owed allegiance to the King of Gondor. It had been
prophesied by Isildur and Malbeth the Seer that the Dead would be summoned once
more to pay their debt for betraying Gondor a millennia before. With their aid the
Corsairs of Umbar were defeated.[21]
Aragorn, a small force of Rangers, and a large contingent of men and soldiers from
the southern regions then sailed up the Anduin to Minas Tirith. When they arrived
at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, Aragorn unfurled a standard that Arwen had
made for him which showed both the White Tree of Gondor along with the jeweled
crown and seven stars of the House of Elendil. With the help of the southern forces
the armies of Gondor and Rohan rallied together and defeated Sauron's army.[22]
The Steward Denethor II declared that he would not bow to a descendant of Isildur
(years before, he had seen "Thorongil" as a rival to his father's favor). Aragorn
healed Faramir, Denethor's last heir, winning him the immediate recognition of
Faramir as rightful heir to the throne; his humility and self-sacrifice gained him
the hearts of the inhabitants of Gondor's capital city. Aragorn's healing
abilities, moreover, were a sign to the people of Gondor of the identity of their
true king; as Ioreth said, "The hands of the King are the hands of a healer, and so
shall the rightful king be known." The people hailed him as King that same evening.
[23]
Despite his immediate success and popularity, however, and despite his claim to the
throne through raising the royal banner, Aragorn decided to lay aside his claim for
the time being. He knew that if he aggressively promoted his claim, rival claimants
or debates as to his legitimacy were not out of the question, and this could be a
fatal distraction for Gondor at a time when the West needed to be united against
Sauron. So, to avoid conflict, after he had healed people during the following
nights of March 1516, he left Minas Tirith and symbolically refused to enter it
again until he was crowned King on May first.
Upon Sauron's defeat, Aragorn was crowned as King Elessar, a name given to him by
Galadriel. He became the twenty-sixth King of Arnor, thirty-fifth King of Gondor
and the first High King of the Reunited Kingdom, though it would be several years
before his authority was firmly reestablished in Arnor. His line was referred to as
the House of Telcontar (Telcontar being Quenya for "Strider"). Aragorn married
Arwen shortly afterwards, and ruled the Kingdom of Gondor and Arnor until 120 of
the Fourth Age. His reign was marked by great harmony and prosperity within Gondor
and Arnor, and by a great renewal of cooperation and communication between Men,
Elves, and Dwarves, fostered by his vigorous rebuilding campaign following the war.
Aragorn led the forces of the Reunited Kingdom on military campaigns against some
Easterlings and Haradrim, re-establishing rule over much territory that Gondor had
lost in previous centuries.
During his coronation, Aragorn sang Elendil's Oath: "Et Erello Endorenna utlien.
Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta!" ("Out of the Great Sea to Middle-
earth I am come. In this place I will abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the
world.")[24]
When in the year 120 of the Fourth Age, King Elessar realised his days were at an
end, he went to the House of the Kings in the Silent Street. He said farewell to
his son Eldarion and his daughters and gave Eldarion his crown and sceptre. Arwen
remained at Aragorn's side until he died. Shortly a year after Aragorn died, Arwen
soon died of a broken heart. Eldarion began his reign as the Second King of the
Reunited Kingdom after his father's and mother's death.[5]
Character
Was there ever anyone like him? Except Gandalf, of course. I think they must be
related.
Peregrin Took on Aragorn[23]
Tolkien gives a brief but detailed description of him in The Lord of the Rings:
lean, dark, tall, with "a shaggy head of dark hair flecked with grey, and in a pale
stern face a pair of keen grey eyes."[8]
In The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen, he was said to be often grim and sad, with
unexpected moments of levity.[5] Some time after the publications of the books,
Tolkien wrote that he was six feet six inches tall.
Aragorn possessed Elven wisdom due to his childhood in Rivendell with Elrond and
the foresight of the Dnedain. He was also a skilled healer, notably with the plant
Athelas (also known as Kingsfoil). He was also a mighty warrior and an unmatched
commander; after the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, he, omer, and Imrahil were
said to be left unscathed, even though they had been in the thick of the fighting.
Though there is no indication of his ever doubting his role and destiny as the
future king of the Reunited Kingdom and one of the leaders of the war against
Sauron (as he did in Peter Jackson's film), he was not immune to self-doubt, as he
doubted the wisdom of his decisions while leading the Fellowship after the loss of
Gandalf in Moria, and blamed himself for many of their subsequent misfortunes.
On one occasion, his pride (or reverence for his heritage) led to complications, as
he refused to disarm and leave his sword Andril (a priceless heirloom of Nmenor
and one of the weapons which slew Sauron) at the door of Edoras, as Thoden had
required, and only did so after Gandalf left his own sword (also of high lineage)
behind. Even so, he swore that death would come to anyone else who touched it
(whether by his own hand or by some magic, it is left unsaid).
Etymology
The name Aragorn means "Revered King", from the Sindarin ara ("king") and (n)gorn
("revered").[25]. Aragorn was named after Aragorn I.

Weapons
Main article: Andril
Anduril
Anduril, Flame of the West
Aragorn's sword is Andril, Flame of the West, the reforged sword Narsil, Elendil's
blade that Isildur used to cut the One Ring from Sauron's hand. Aragorn uses it
with the same skill the Numenoreans had long ago.
Later Tolkien hesitated about the true identity of "Trotter" for a long time. One
of his notes suggested that the Rangers should not be hobbits as originally
planned, and that this would mean that Trotter was either a Man, or a hobbit who
associated himself with the Rangers and was "very well known" (within the story).
The latter suggestion was linked to an early comment of Bingo: "I keep on feeling
that I have seen him somewhere before". Tolkien made a proposal that Trotter might
be Bilbo Baggins himself, but rejected that idea.
Another suggestion was that Trotter was "Fosco Took (Bilbo's first cousin), who
vanished when a lad, owing to Gandalf". This story was further elaborated, making
Trotter a nephew of Bilbo, named Peregrin Boffin, and an elder cousin of Frodo. He
was said to have run away after he came of age, some twenty years before Bilbo's
party, and had helped Gandalf in tracking Gollum later. A hint was also given as to
why Trotter wore wooden shoes: he had been captured by the Dark Lord in Mordor and
tortured, but saved by Gandalf; a note was added by Tolkien in the margin, saying
that it would later be revealed that Trotter had wooden feet.
The conception of Trotter being a hobbit was discarded with the following
recommencing of writing; another short-lived idea was to make Trotter "a disguised
elf - friend of Bilbo's in Rivendell", and a scout from Rivendell who "pretends to
be a ranger".[27]
Quite soon Tolkien finally settled on the Mannish identity of Trotter, from the
beginning introducing him as a "descendant of the ancient men of the North, and one
of Elrond's household", as well as the name Aragorn. While the history of Nmenor
and the descendants of Elros and Elendil were not fully developed, the terms of it
were in existence, and would come to be connected with The Lord of the Rings as the
character of Aragorn developed. Thus the evolution of the history of the Second and
Third Ages was dependent on the bringing of Trotter to association with them.
One significant feature which was not established until late stages was Aragorn's
relationship with Arwen. When Tolkien first introduced owyn, the interest which
she showed towards Aragorn was not one-sided, with suggestions in notes that they
would marry at the end of the story. Another proposal was done soon, that owyn
would die to save or avenge Thoden, and Aragorn would never marry after her death.
The first mention of Elrond's daughter, named Arwen Undomiel, was in reference to
the banner which she made for Aragorn, but Tolkien did not give any hint whether
she had any further part to play. The references to her marriage with Aragorn were
made later, but it was explicitly stated only near the completion of the book. It
is only in his working on the appendices for The Lord of the Rings that Tolkien
recorded the full tale of Aragorn and Arwen.
A passing idea was that Galadriel gave her Ring to Aragorn, and that he would
accordingly be titled the "Lord of the Ring".
Rejected names
The original nickname Trotter was retained for a long while, and Tolkien decided to
change it to Strider only after the story was completed. There were also several
experimental translations of Trotter to Sindarin: Padathir, Du-finnion and
Rimbedir, with Ecthelion possibly being equivalent to Peregrin (Boffin). Instead of
the latter title "the Dnadan", Quenya Tarkil ("Noble Man") was first used, synonym
with Nmenrean.
Tolkien hesitated for some time about Trotter's "real" name. Although Aragorn was
the first suggestion when the Mannish descent was settled, it was changed a number
of times. At one point Tolkien decided that an Elvish name does not suit a Man, and
thus altered it from Aragorn via Elfstone to Ingold, where the last one is an Old
English name with ing- representing "west". Later, however, a new plot element was
introduced: Galadriel's gift of a green stone, and Tolkien reverted the usage to
Elfstone in order to make an additional connection. This was retained into the
final version of the legendarium as a side name and a translation of Elessar.

In The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy (2001 2003) directed by Peter Jackson,
Aragorn is played by Danish-American actor Viggo Mortensen, who took over the role
from Stuart Townsend after a month of rehearsals. In these movies, Aragorn must
overcome his self-doubt to claim the kingship. This specific element of self-doubt
is not present in Tolkien's books, where Aragorn intends to claim the throne all
along. Daniel Day-Lewis was offered the role, but declined.
In order to ensure safe passage across Mordor for Frodo to fulfill his quest,
Aragorn then led the Army of the West out from Minas Tirith to make a diversionary
feint on the Black Gate of Mordor itself in the Battle of the Morannon. Gandalf had
been given supreme command of the war effort after the Pelennor Fields, and acted
as chief spokesman in the parley with the Mouth of Sauron; but Aragorn commanded
the Allied troops during the battle and its aftermath.
Non-Canonical weapons
In the film adaptation, Aragorn never carries the shards of Narsil as he did in the
books, and only receives the reforged Andril before entering the Paths of the
Dead. Up until this time, Aragorn uses a different, more basic sword that is never
given a name. Attached to the scabbard of this sword is a small utility knife that
Aragorn uses in the wild country.
Dagger
Celeborn's gift to Aragorn
Aragorn's dagger given by Celeborn
Aragorn also uses a long, curved dagger in battle, though a lot less frequently
than his sword. This dagger is used for close combat and as a last resort if the
sword is useless in a particular situation, such as when Aragorn is knocked down or
assassinating Sauron's servants. He received a curved dagger from Celeborn in the
movie, upon leaving Lorien. In The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (video
game), Aragorn uses his dagger as a finishing blow for his Final Judgment and
Warrior Bane combos.
Aragorn's next weapon in his arsenal is his bow. This bow is rarely used at all.
Aragorn only uses it in Moria, shooting Goblins in the beginning of the Fight in
Balin's Tomb and while fleeing the Bridge of Khazad-dm. During these few scenes,
Aragorn shows that, though he does not have the expert bow skill and speed that
Legolas possesses, he is still an effective shooter when he successfully brings
down two goblins through small cracks in the door.
In "The Two Towers" and "Return of the King" video games, Aragorn's missile weapon
is his bow and arrows. In each case, Aragorn has 30 arrows.
Aragorn's final weapon is the Black Stone. He uses it once in The Return of the
King to summon the Oathbreakers and defeat the Corsairs of Umbar. He is not shown
using it in the movie adaptation.
In LOTR: Conquest, Aragorn's special, heavy attack is to summon the Army of the
Dead.
In The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II, Aragorn's most powerful
ability is to summon the Army of the Dead, which appears as four abnormally large,
invincible ghost units, who can kill infantry almost instantly, though they are
weak against buildings. The only units capable of doing any sort of damage to the
Dead are heroes, which even then get immediately wiped out.
The Hobbit film trilogy
While not appearing physically in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy, he is alluded
to by Thranduil to Legolas in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. In a
departure from the books, he is stated to already be a Ranger and well known among
his people, rather than a ten year old child. Thranduil only told him that the
Ranger's name was Strider and that he was the son of Arathon, telling him that he
would have to find out Strider's true name for himself.
Given that Aragorn was 87 in The Two Towers, he would have been 27 during the
Hobbit film series, since the original trilogy omitted the 17 year gap between
where Gandalf leaves Frodo and finds out about the Ring's origin.
Stage
(See the stage article: The Lord of the Rings)
Aragorn was portrayed by Evan Buliung in the three-hour production of The Lord of
the Rings, which opened in 2006 in Toronto, Canada.
In the United States, Aragorn was portrayed by Josh Beshears in the Cincinnati,
Ohio production of The Return of the King (2003) for Clear Stage Cincinnati. At
Chicago's Lifeline Theatre, Aragorn was played by Robert McLean in the 1999
production of The Two Towers.
Born of Hope
In the fan-film Born of Hope, Aragorn appears as a two-year-old toddler played by
the child actor Luke Johnston.
Radio
Robert Stephens voiced the character in the 1981 BBC Radio serial of The Lord of
the Rings.
Video games
Aragorn appears in LEGO The Lord of the Rings: The Video Game and its associated
toy line, LEGO The Lord of the Rings, as a minifigure; Viggo Mortenson once again
voices him through archived audio recordings.
