Biography:
Aragorn was born late in the third age, and was raised by Elrond as if he were a son. During the end of the Third Age, Aragorn went on long journeys and fought in many wars.
"Thus he became the most hardy of living men, skilled in their crafts and lore, and was yet more than they; for he was elven-wise, and there was a light in his eyes that when they were kindled few could endure."
And when he was forty-nine years old he wished to come back to Rivendell and on the way he stopped in Lothlorien and was with Arwen.
She agreed to wed Aragorn, but Elrond would only allow it when he was the king of both Gondor and Arnor.
And Aragorn left again to danger and war. He returned infrequently, and his mother Gilraen died while he was away.
Many years later Aragorn met Frodo, the bearer of The One Ring, and became one of the nine walkers. As such, Aragorn helped Frodo fulfill his destiny: destroy the Ring.
At the end of the third age, after the War of the Ring, Aragorn is crowned King Elessar, marries Arwen, and lives as the new King of Gondor in the city of Minas Tirith, until his death in 120 Fourth Age, at the age of 210 years.
