I'm not sure "position reserved for Aragorn" is right; the fact is, Boromir wasn't a direct descendant of Elendil, and would not have had any right to the throne even if Aragorn hadn't been around.
'''Denethor''', son of [[Ecthelion]], is the last steward of [[Gondor]] in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''. He resented being only a steward and wanted his son [[Boromir]] to become king, but that was a position reserved for [[Aragorn]]. Upon learning of Boromir's untimely death, he went crazy and tried to burn his son [[Faramir]] alive; thwarted in this by his page {{dl|Peregrin|Took}}, he leaped onto the fiery bier and ended his life in flames.
'''Denethor II''', son of [[Ecthelion]], is the last steward of [[Gondor]] in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''.
