Boromir is a character in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium.

Boromir, as a character, is portrayed as having been born in the year 2978 of the Third Age to Denethor II and Finduilas, daughter of Adrahil of Dol Amroth.

Boromir is shown as having grown accustomed to the habit of command.

As Book II continues, Boromir is shown as displaying increasing " bravado and recklessness.

In both Ralph Bakshi's 1978 animated film and in the subsequent BBC Radio serial, Boromir is played by Michael Graham Cox.

In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, Boromir is played by Sean Bean.

In the film, Boromir is mortally wounded by the Uruk-hai leader Lurtz, a character created for the films, instead of by numerous, unnamed Uruk-hai led by Uglúk.

The second flashback is a considerably lengthier one, and is the only scene of the trilogy where Boromir and Faramir are seen speaking to each other.

Here Boromir apparently knows that " Isildur's Bane " is the One Ring and is chosen specifically by his father, despite his reluctance to go, in response to a summons from Elrond, as Rivendell is a known location.

The Council's duties and powers are not elaborated further, but it is also credited with rejecting Arvedui's claim after the death of Ondoher and should possibly be equated with " the elders " that sent Boromir to Rivendell.

A new character was immediately introduced: Boromir, a messenger at the Council of Elrond and son of the " King of Ond ", whose realm is " besieged by wild men out of the East ".

The plot of The Third Age involves Berethor, Captain of the Citadel Guard of Gondor, who is travelling to Rivendell to find Boromir, one of the nine members of the Fellowship of the Ring.

This was partly to establish Faramir's character in the movie as having more empathy than his proud brother, Boromir.

The eleventh steward of Gondor, Denethor I, had as well a son called Boromir who was described as a great warrior.

Boromir has been mentioned with other Tolkienian characters such as Fëanor or Túrin Turambar who display " excess " for the sake of their own personal glory, a trait in leaders that Tolkien himself despised.

Of other Gondor posts, in Tolkien's writings appear " ministers of the Crown concerned with ' intelligence '" who surveyed the palantíri ( see below ); Captain of the Hosts, borne by future King Falastur during the reign of his father ; and Captain of Gondor and Captain-General of Gondor applied to Faramir and Boromir respectively, with the former title also given to Eärnur when he commanded the Gondor army in Arthedain prior to his crowning.

In 2978 she gave birth to a son Boromir, who became loved by his father.

He sets out on this quest with eight other companions who comprise the Fellowship of the Ring: Legolas, a woodland elf, Gimli, a dwarf of Balin's clan, Boromir, a lord of Gondor, Aragorn, a Dúnedain ranger of the North, Gandalf, and three hobbits of the Shire, Samwise Gamgee, Peregrin Took and Meriadoc Brandybuck.

They share a vision of Gandalf the Grey, who tells them that Boromir is travelling with the Fellowship, and that they are headed in the direction of Moria.

Boromir felt that it would be better to use the Ring in Gondor's defence than to " throw it away ".

Fatally injured by orc-arrows, Boromir admits his failure, advises Aragorn, and urges him to lead Gondor and save its people.

After Sam frees Frodo from its clutches, Boromir rushes forward and hacks at its tentacles for a few seconds.

In early versions of the histories Tolkien stated that the names of the descendants of Bëor were given in Sindarin, and proposed the following meanings ( for the members present at that stage ): Bëor ' follower, vassal ', Bregolas ' fierceness ', Barahir ' fiery lord ', Baragund ' fiery prince ', Belegund ' great prince ', Beren ' bold ', and also Boromir ' steadfast jewel ', though the last was rather the name of Bór's son.

Boromir led many successful forays against Sauron's forces, prior to his journey north to Rivendell, which brought him great esteem in his father Denethor's eyes.

As their father withdrew, the relationship between Faramir and Boromir grew closer and greater in love.

Denethor always favoured Boromir over Faramir — Denethor loved Boromir " too much, perhaps ; the more so because they were unlike "— but this caused no rivalry between the two brothers.

Boromir always protected and helped Faramir.

Boromir was judged to be the more daring one, as well as the more fearless.

In response to prophetic dreams that came to Faramir and later to himself, Boromir claimed the quest of riding to Rivendell from Minas Tirith in.

Boromir lost his horse halfway along, while crossing the Greyflood at the ruined city of Tharbad where the bridge was broken.

Boromir first appears in The Lord of the Rings arriving at Rivendell just as the Council of Elrond was commencing.

Boromir accompanied Frodo south from Rivendell with the Fellowship.

On the journey south, Boromir frequently questioned the wisdom of their leader, Gandalf the Wizard.

Boromir did, however, prove himself a valuable companion on the Fellowship's attempt to pass over the Misty Mountains: he advised that firewood be collected before the attempt to climb Caradhras, and this saved the Fellowship from freezing to death.

Boromir was unnerved by the thought of entering the elvish forest — he pleads with Aragorn to find another way " though it led through a hedge of swords ", citing the stories of elvish witchcraft he had heard about in Gondor, and the " strange paths " they had been taking which had already caused them to lose one Companion.

Once in Lórien, Boromir was greatly disturbed by the Lady Galadriel's testing of his mind ; he told Aragorn " not to be too sure of this lady and her purposes.

" When Boromir left Lórien, he received the gifts of a golden belt and an Elven-cloak.

Boromir always favoured taking the Ring to Minas Tirith, despite the consensus reached at Rivendell that it must be destroyed.

After seeing that Frodo was unconvinced, Boromir commanded him to lend the Ring to him.

When Frodo still refused, Boromir tried to seize the Ring for himself.
