Though he is very strong willed, he fears the power of the dark lord Sauron and an evil ancestrial past.
His skill with the sword is even a contender of Elves,
and yet he fears the sword that was broken, which lays in the stone arms of Rivendell.
He loves the daughter of Elrond, Arwen Evenstar,
and would have her pass from him forever, then to stay with him and die.
At first to the Hobbits, a seamingly dark and dangerous Strider he proves to be much more.
His loyalty and strength is needed to keep the Fellowship, and the world of Men
above the dark tides.
