Actually, he was known as Ecthelion of the fountain. He was the leader of the people of the south portion of the city. Ecthelion and the people he lead were arrayed in silver and diamonds and marched into battle to the sound of flutes.
Boromir's granddad was Ecthelion 2nd, and his father, five times removed (300 years or so), was Ecthelion 1st. There is some stuff written about these two men, but, I can't remember any of it off hand right now and will get back to you all as soon as I dig it up.
Tolkien's names rule! I also use names from the Planescape and Michael Moorcock novels as well.
Rog of the Anvil - he also fell at The Fall Of Gondolin. He was the leader of the smiths and single handedly took out MANY balrogs! (I know, I know, it was the much weaker kind of balrog from the Lost Tales, but sounds real cool!)
Alatar the Blue - one of the five wizzards that came from over the sea. He went to the far east of Middle Earth and that's all he wrote.
Turin Turambar - my favorite of the first age stories, a true tragedy. Turin was his real name, but as his life goes on, he would give himself titles. Turambar means Conquerer of Fate.
