Faramir was the second son of King Ondoher of Gondor.
Biography[]
Faramir had an older brother, Artamir, and a sister, Fíriel.
In TA 1944, Faramir was not willing to remain in Minas Anor as Regent while his father and brother went to war with the returning Wainriders, despite this being the law. Leaving Minas Anor in disguise, he joined a party of Éothéod retreating towards the Dead Marshes near the Morannon. The group was caught in an ambush of some kind and he was mortally wounded, dying in the arms of the leader of his party, who then defended his body until help arrived. His true identity was discovered when the Éothéod searched his body and found evidence that he was a Prince of Gondor.[1]
