Aragorn II a.k.a. Strider, Elessar Telcontal, Dunadan, born in T.A. 2931, is a member of the Fellowship of the Ring. At the age of two after his father�s death he was taken into the care of Elrond in Rivendell. He doesn�t know his real name and the elves call him Estel, which means �hope� in Sindarin. Aragorn is undoubtedly the last hope to restore the House of Isildur. His renowned ancestor cut Sauron�s finger together with the Ring off in 3441. Since Elendil, Isildur�s father, was the 1st king of Gondor and Arnor, Aragorn, in his turn, is an heir-at-law to the throne. However, for the time being, no one suspected that, and Stewards ruled the Kingdom. Aragorn never boasts of his noble origin and his sacral role in all the predictions. This undoubtedly brings Aragorn and his people together. Once, when speaking with Aragorn, Gandalf pronounces a phrase, which fully characterizes Elessar�s role in the post-war society: �It is you who are now responsible for Middle Earth�. In Aragorn Tolkien wanted to show an ideal king who should sow seeds of the White Tree. The seeds of rational, good and eternity. We can see at a glance that Aragorn is a star. He is a natural leader. Battles have made him tough and he has the mortal strength to resist the pull of the Ring. Aragorn ruled Gondor 120 years and died on the 1st of March of the year 120 of the Fourth Age. He left the world of the quick but �the story of Aragorn and Arwen�, his deeds, a prosperous kingdom, a son and several daughters remained.
