Why is he irresistible?: What's not to like? From the first moment Aragorn appears, wrapped in a cloak with long muddy boots in the Prancing Pony, he oozes charisma and mystery. He has always fascinated me, and through The Lord of the Rings he develops from a mysterious Ranger to a man respected by all who meet him. He can handle himself in a fight yet turns healer afterwards. He can capture the heart of an immortal Elf enough that she is prepared to give her immortality up for love of him. He appears as if on wings of myth and legend out of the Sea, bearing the arms of the Kings. And added to all that, he's got the looks I go for. Tall, dark, and handsome in an angular way. Arwen, you're a lucky woman.
