Boromir is the Tolkien character who is the son of Gondor’s Steward and carries the Horn of Gondor.
Boromir is the elder son of Denethor II, Steward of Gondor, and the older brother of Faramir. He joins the Fellowship of the Ring after travelling to Rivendell, where the Council debates what should be done with the One Ring. Boromir is a powerful warrior and an important defender of Gondor, but he also believes the Ring might be used against Sauron.
His desire for the Ring causes him to attack Frodo, though he soon recognizes his failure and tries to protect Merry and Pippin from the Orcs. Boromir dies at Amon Hen after being struck by several arrows while defending them. His great horn, the Horn of Gondor, is broken during the battle and later reaches Minas Tirith. Faramir is often confused with Boromir because both are Denethor’s sons, but Faramir does not carry the Fellowship’s horn.
