However, he is not the heir to the throne, and the one who was has gone missing. When he was just a baby, a raiding party from Dunland ambushed a caravan of women and children he was travelling with. When the Elves counterattacked and destroyed the Dunlendings in their camp, the baby was nowhere to be found.

Now, 35 years-old, Arandil has set out from Rivendell on a quest to find this lost brother and return him to the throne. The ranger is armed with a sword, an Elven dagger, and a bow. He wears chainmail armour under a tunic and wrist bands that display the White Tree of Gondor. He carries an arrow quiver, a bedroll, and a knapsack.

Arandil is about 5'9" in height, dark eyes, and has black hair (which comes down to his neck) and a beard. He has a rough, yet noble look.

Arandil is good-natured and compassionate but he is very reclusive about himself, his past, and his mission. When it comes to fighting, he is accurate with the bow (but not as good as an Elf) and very skillful with his blade weapons. As a ranger, he has some wilderness lore, speaks Elvish, knowledge against the Enemy, and trained with the use of medicine.
