Boromir
MajorA tall man with a fair and noble face, dark-haired with locks shorn about his shoulders, and grey-eyed with a proud and stern glance. He is broader and heavier in build with great arms. He is cloaked and booted as if for a journey on horseback with rich garments stained with long travel, a fur-lined cloak, a collar of silver set with a single white stone, and on a baldric he bears a great horn tipped with silver along with a long sword and shield.
