Though valorous and powerful, Boromir's main quest was not to destroy The One Ring of [[Sauron]] in Mount Doom, but instead to take it to Gondor and use it against Sauron's forces. This plan was turned on its head, however, as The One Ring corrupted Boromir's mind and made him antagonistic towards his allies. He eventually redeemed himself by protecting the Hobbits until his death. | Though valorous and powerful, Boromir's main quest was not to destroy The One Ring of [[Sauron]] in Mount Doom, but instead to take it to Gondor and use it against Sauron's forces.

| “ | Gondor has no King. Gondor needs no King. | „ |
| ~ Boromir to Aragorn |
| “ | One does not simply walk into Mordor... | „ |
| ~ Boromir |
Background
Boromir is a primary protagonist of The Lord of the Rings. He is a man of the Kingdom of Gondor from the Third Age, serving as the Commander of Gondor's military and the eldest son of the Ruling Steward of Gondor, Denethor II. At the behest of his father, Boromir travelled to Rivendell, where he became one of the members of the Fellowship of the Ring.
Though valorous and powerful, Boromir's main quest was not to destroy The One Ring of Sauron in Mount Doom, but instead to take it to Gondor and use it against Sauron's forces. This plan was turned on its head, however, as The One Ring corrupted Boromir's mind and made him antagonistic towards his allies. He eventually redeemed himself by protecting the Hobbits until his death.
Codex Statistics
Tier: High 10-B
Name: Boromir
Origin: Tolkien's Legendarium
Sex: Male
Age: 41 years old
Classification: Gondorian Race of Men, Commander of the Gondor Military
Status: Deceased (Was shot to death by the arrows of Orcs)
Alignment: Chaotic Good (Despite being the favorite son of Denethor, Boromir did not inherit his father's bad qualities. Instead, Boromir is a proud and loyal warrior of Gondor whose only faults come from his abundance of that pride and loyalty. He is extremely dedicated to the kingdom and people of Gondor, to the point where his main goal is securing the One Ring specifically to protect it from Sauron. This desire for the ring eventually corrupts him, though this is through the Ring's evil power. He still cares much for his allies and seeks to protect them at all costs, even giving up his own life), Chaotic Neutral when possessed by The One Ring (Those under the direct influence of The One Ring act as a man possessed, and will become entirely focused on it. They will lash out in anger if it is moved or threatened to be taken, and become overly worried if they happen to misplace it. People will sacrifice their own lives for the sake of owning The One Ring, due to Sauron's corruptive madness)
Dimensionality: 3-D
Attack Potency: Above Average Human level (Boromir is said to be a man of great strength)
Durability: Above Average Human level, Sheer Will makes him difficult to kill (Boromir refused to fall despite being pierced by countless arrows due to his determination to protect the Hobbits)

Stamina: Above Average (Boromir's journey lasted 110 days and was travelled mostly on foot)

Shield
- Golden Belt of Lórien: A belt that appeared as though it were linked by golden leaves. This was the gift that Galadriel bestowed upon Boromir, once he and the rest of the Fellowship of the Ring were to depart from Lothlórien.
-
Golden Belt of Lórien
- Horn of Gondor: Also known as the Great Horn, it was an heirloom of the House of Húrin. Blowing the horn holds many different meanings.

But it can also be used for warning or a cry for help, seen during Boromir's last stand.
-
Horn of Gondor
