The eldest and favored son of Denethor, the current Steward of Gondor, Boromir was chosen to represent the race of men in The Fellowship of the Ring. But the Ring's lure was too much for Boromir, who tried to take it from Frodo. He was redeemed when he was killed by Uruk-hai trying to protect Merry and Pippin, showing great courage and heroism.
Faramir:
The youngest son of Lord Denethor, Steward of Gondor, Faramir is brother to Boromir who perished defending Merry and Pippin. Unlike his brother, Faramir is not beloved by his father, and has spent many years as a ranger, scouting and defending the wild borderlands of Gondor in order to earn his affection.
