Faramir
As the Captain of the Rangers of Ithilien, Faramir led the retreat from Osgiliath to Minas Tirith before the Siege of Gondor. After his brother Boromir had been slain, Faramir was struck down by the Witch-king. His father Denethor went mad and was narrowly prevented by Gandalf from cremating the comatose Faramir. It took the healing hands of Aragorn to bring Faramir out of the death-like sleep brought on by the “Black Breath” of the Witch-king. Once recovered, he fell in love with Eowyn, the shieldmaiden of Rohan. After the war, the couple married and Faramir became Steward of Gondor and Prince of Ithilien.
