Rank 8: Faramir
Faramir truly had a hard time. Not only is his older brother Boromir the favorite son of father Denethor II, but Faramir also has to forgo riding to Rivendell for Gondor. His father sees him as weak and less valuable than Boromir.
However, Faramir is anything but that. He is a strong and loyal warrior and also wise, as he was taught by Gandalf at a young age. His will is also strong and is only difficult to break, despite all the harassment from his father. Although Faramir can never fully show what he is capable of, in the end, he is comforted by his good and deep relationship with Boromir, whose death he mourns deeply.
