Backstory:
Last descendant of the ancient kings, Aragorn is fated to one day claim the long empty throne of Gondor in Minas Tirith, should he prove to himself that he is worthy of the task. It is a post he never wanted, yet by his valor and nobility of heart, Aragorn is led to fulfill his destiny and to guide the people of Gondor toward their uncertain future. Before being crowned under his Elven name Elessar, the king in waiting has one final test to face: watching over the young hobbit Frodo Baggins, bearer of the One Ring and keeper of Middle-earth's fate.
In his years removed from society, Aragorn takes on the name of Strider, and traverses the outlying forests as a regarded ranger. Learning of Frodo's journey, Strider meets the young hobbit and his companions along their way and guides them safely to the haven of Rivendell, where they are joined by more companions and form the Fellowship of the Ring, fated with the burden of destroying Sauron's powerful ring. Aragorn and the Fellowship faithfully protect Frodo from many foes and perils, but Aragorn is ultimately unable to guard Frodo against the most dangerous enemy - the Ring itself. Although his heart is pure and his will strong enough to refuse the offer of the One Ring's power, Aragorn cannot promise to protect Frodo from other allies and friends who might be overcome by the temptation of the Ring. It is with a heavy heart that Aragorn allows Frodo to continue the journey without his protection. Aragorn continues his quest to aid Frodo, taking dark and difficult paths, rallying and uniting the Men of Middle-Earth to defend against the gathering darkness
