Aragorn
MajorA tall lean dark weather-beaten man known as Strider with a shaggy head of dark hair flecked with grey, a pale stern face, and keen grey eyes that can gleam with light or command. He wears a travel-stained cloak of heavy dark-green cloth drawn close with hood often overshadowing his face, high boots of supple leather caked with mud, and carries a sword (sometimes shown broken). He appears alert, watchful, or weary after marches but can stand tall and kingly.

Physical Description
A tall lean dark weather-beaten man known as Strider with a shaggy head of dark hair flecked with grey, a pale stern face, and keen grey eyes that can gleam with light or command. He wears a travel-stained cloak of heavy dark-green cloth drawn close with hood often overshadowing his face, high boots of supple leather caked with mud, and carries a sword (sometimes shown broken). He appears alert, watchful, or weary after marches but can stand tall and kingly. A tall man with pale skin and a keen watchful face that appears drawn yet stern as stone, bearing the living majesty of ancient kings with a white flame like a shining crown upon his brow in moments of revelation. Wise with many winters, he is clad in grey elvish raiment and a ragged grey cloak that conceals his mail-shirt, long legs stretched in rest or striding tirelessly, his hand often upon the hilt of Andúril sheathed in glimmering elven craftsmanship. As the Dúnadan heir of Elendil he moves with commanding presence, at times throwing back his cloak to let the bright blade shine like sudden flame, every line of his form suggesting a king out of the sea mists come among lesser men. Tall as the sea-kings of old, he stood above all that were near; ancient of days he seemed and yet in the flower of manhood; dark-haired with eyes of grey. So high and glad of face, kingly, lord of Men, with wisdom sat upon his brow, strength and healing in his hands, and a light about him. Clad in black mail girt with silver and a long mantle of pure white clasped at the throat with a great jewel of green that shone from afar, head bare save for a star upon his forehead bound by a slender fillet of silver. His eyes gleamed like stars that shine the brighter as the night deepens and could show pity or sternness.

Longtime allies hunting Gollum and guarding the Shire in Book 1; Aragorn entrusts Frodo to him initially but laments failing his trust after Moria in Book 2, with their partnership resuming implicitly in the war effort.
