'''Faramir''' is the younger son of [[Denethor]], a seemingly less masterful man than his hardier brother [[Boromir]]. Yet he inspires more trust and loyalty, and he is instrumental in helping [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] and [[Samwise Gamgee|Sam]] on their quest to [[Mordor]].

Faramir is the younger son of [[Denethor|Steward Denethor II]] of [[Gondor]], and a seemingly less masterful man than his hardier brother [[Boromir]]. Yet he inspires more trust and loyalty, and he is instrumental in helping [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] and [[Samwise Gamgee|Sam]] on their quest to [[Mordor]].
He understands about [[One Ring (Middle-earth)|the Ring]], and yet has no desire for it: "Not even if I found this thing on the side of the road ..."

Faramir took Frodo and his trusty servant-companion Sam to his secret fortress, with the gentlest of constraints, insisting only that the pair be blindfolded. There, he hears Frodo's tale in detail, supplies him with food and drink, and escorts him to the border of Mordor. He even allows Frodo to take [[Gollum]] under his protection.

== Adaptions ==
In [[Peter Jackson]]'s [[The Lord of the Rings film trilogy|film adaptations]] of ''The Lord of the Rings'', Faramir is played by the Australian actor [[David Wenham]].
The movie version portrays Faramir as desirous of the Ring, one of several distortions of the original story. (This might be the reason Tolkien's son ended his consulting relationship with the movie director - see [[Christopher Tolkien]]).
