Background
Aradann was born in 2920 in the Third Age, what makes him 99 years old in the time of the War of the Ring. He was born into the Wardens of Annúminas and since boyhood stood watch over the deserted capital of the Northern Kingdoms for many long years.
At some time, Aradann became captain at Tinnudir Keep, where a group of Dúnedain Rangers have established an encampment, keeping watch over the region. For years the Rangers as well as a number of upstanding men of Evendim have maintained the camp, sheltered by no more than ruined walls of ancient buildings. Their main task is to keep tomb-robbers and Angmarim from finding the Silithar and other precious artifacts.
However, their silent vigil may be near an end as the wheels of war begin to grind, threatening to overwhelm their watch and forever extinguish their dreams of the rightful King returned to his city. Aradann travels through Breeland in search for help from his fellow Rangers.
Aradann is known for mastering many techniques and skills. Always outnumbered, he learned evasion tactics, allowing him to take enemies by surprise or to escape from a tight spot. He is also a proficient archer, able to bring down foes from afar, and when stealth and archery are of no avail, he is more than capable with his sword. Aradann possesses Elven wisdom and masters the Sindarin language.
