BOROMIR. Human. 30-45 years old. Male. Strong, tall, thick-set.  Boromir is the eldest son of Denethor,  steward of Gondor. Introverted and something of a loner, he has been oppressed by a  domineering and violent father. Boromir is mistrustful of others, particularly Wizards,  and regularly pours scorn on  Gandalf.  Boromir  believes in the greatness  of men, but he has no real belief in himself. The more likable  side of his character is brought out by the Hobbits, whom he finds very endearing.  Boromir is easily swayed by the power of the Ring and under its influence he turns quite malicious. He does, however,  come to see the error of his ways and very honorably redeems himself, dying a hero's death to save  Merry and Pippin...
