Faramir was the younger brother of Boromir and second son of Denethor II. After his brother died, he was appointed captain of the White Tower and captain of the Rangers of Ithilien. In TA 2983, Denethor II and Finduilas, the daughter of Adrahil of Dol Amroth, welcomed Faramir into the world. When his grandfather, Ecthelion II, passed away the following year, his father, Denethor, took over as ruling steward of Gondor. Finduilas passed away when Faramir was five years old. Denethor lost touch with his family after she passed away. Boromir was five years older than Faramir, but their love for one another was strong. It was said that Boromir was the more courageous, fearless, and powerful warrior. The sweet disposition of Faramir, his love of music and lore, and assertiveness were mistakenly viewed as less. Despite their stark personality differences and clear preference of Denethor for Boromir over Faramir, the brothers never harboured prejudice or resentment toward one another. Faramir, who greatly adored his older brother, was constantly protected and assisted by Boromir. Gandalf the Grey and Faramir became friends because of this shared passion. Through guidance and wisdom of Gandalf, youngest son of Denethor learnt everything he could. The reason Denethor disapproved of Faramir as the pupil of the Wzard was that he did not like or trust the Istar. On the battlefield, leadership of Faramir, his ability with weapons, and quick yet tough decision-making came in as help. As the captain of the Rangers of Ithilien during the War of the Ring, he frequently engaged supporters of Sauron in combat in that province. Faramir did not like fighting for the sake of battle, but he bravely protected Gondor from the Enemy.
