Boromir is the elder son of Denethor II, Steward of Gondor, and Finduilas, and the elder brother of Faramir; he is raised as a favored scion and military leader of Gondor and is heir apparent to his father's stewardship. Within the narrative of The Lord of the Rings he is selected to represent Gondor at the Council of Elrond and becomes a member of the Fellowship of the Ring (sources identify Denethor II and his familial relations and Boromir's role as heir and commander).
Sources describe Boromir as a man of great stamina, physical strength, and a forceful, commanding presence; he is widely admired as a commander in Gondor's army and is the favourite of his father. Specific details such as precise height, hair colour, or dress are not provided in the supplied summaries beyond his depiction as a strong Gondorian noble (he also appears in later adaptations such as animated and live-action films, radio, and game versions, which are adaptations of the primary narrative).
Boromir's capacities are martial and leadership-based: he is a skilled and respected military commander with endurance and strength, and he exhibits command presence and persuasive force. Psychologically he is patriotic, proud, and susceptible to the Ring's temptation; he argues for using the One Ring to defend Gondor, attempts to seize it from Frodo, immediately repents that betrayal, and redeems himself by fighting to protect Merry and Pippin, in which he is mortally wounded by orc-arrows.
