Denethor II

Denethor II is the twenty-sixth Ruling Steward of Gondor, and father of BOROMIR and FARAMIR.
Denethor was the third child and only son of ECTHELION II. A proud and noble man, the blood of NUMENOR ran truer in him than it had in any man of Gondor for many years. He was described as subtle and often scornful and could perceive the thoughts of men, including those that dwelled far off. It was difficult to deceive him and dangerous to try.
In TA 2976, he married FINDUILAS of DOL AMROTH, daughter of Prince ADRAHIL II of Dol Amroth. Together, the couple had two sons, Boromir and Faramir. A few years later, in TA 2988, Finduilas died young, leaving Denethor embittered.
He succeeded his father Ecthelion II as twenty-sixth Ruling Steward in TA 2984. During his stewardship, Gandalf was less welcome in MINAS TIRITH, and his counsels went unheeded.
