Aragorn II a.k.a. Elfstone, Strider, Longshanks, Elessar, Estel, Telcontar, The Dunedan, and Isildur's Heir, was born in T.A. 2931 and died in FO 120.
He was a Man of Gondor, of Isildur´s Line and his parents were Arathorn and Gilraen.
Aragorn had ruddy good looks, with a noble appearance. He had long black hair, flecked with grey, and was described as being quite tall.
At the age of two, after his father’s death, he was taken into the care of Elrond in Rivendell. He doesn’t know his real name and the elves call him Estel, which means “hope” in Sindarin.
Aragorn is undoubtedly the last hope to restore the House of Isildur. His renowned ancestor cut Sauron’s finger together with the Ring off in 3441.
Since Elendil, Isildur’s father, was the first king of Gondor and Arnor, Aragorn - in his turn - is an heir-at-law to the throne. However, for the time being, no one suspected that, and Stewards ruled the Kingdom.
At the age of 20 Aragorn learned the truth about his origin and Elrond gave him the heirloom of the Heirs of Isildur – Elendir’s broken sword and the Ring of Barahir.
After that he began his journey to Wilderland. Since then he had been fighting with Sauron’s servants for 70 years and with the war-cry “Elendil” put the enemy to flight.
His long journey through the forests of Middle-Earth taught Aragorn to be unnoticeable and calm even in the most dangerous situations.
Aragorn led the Fellowship after Gandalf's fall into Moria as far as Parth Galen. He, Gimli, and Legolas then turned toward Isengard in pursuit of the band of orcs that had captured Merry and Pippin.
After meeting up with Gandalf again, seeing the destruction of Isengard, and finding Merry and Pippin safe, Aragorn then made for the Paths of the Dead because of what he saw in the Palantir.
Once he emerged from the Paths of the Dead, he arrived in Gondor with a large army of men, and turned the tide of the battle of the Pellennor Fields. Soon after, he was Captain of the Army of the West, which rode forth to challenge Sauron.
After the War of the Ring, Aragorn was crowned king of the reunited kingdom, and wed Arwen Evenstar. During his reign, he restored peace to the land, and extended its borders.
Aragorn met and instantly fell in love with Arwen when he was twenty years old, but Elrond would not permit a wedding until he had reclaimed his throne.
