History
Ecthelion was the son of Steward Turgon. A few years before he took the throne, Sauron had declared himself openly.[3]
Ecthelion was known as a man of wisdom, who encouraged worthy men to enter into his service. One who did so was the stranger Thorongil, who fought for Gondor and severely damaged the Corsairs' fleet at Umbar in a surprise attack. It later transpired that Thorongil was Aragorn Elessar.[4] Gandalf was also a welcome guest in Minas Tirith at the time. Ecthelion also strengthened Pelargir and refortified Cair Andros.[1]
Ecthelion was followed by his son Denethor at his death in 2984.[2]
