Biography[]
Angbor the Fearless in The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, The City of Ulfast Adventure Pack
During the last months of the War of the Ring, Angbor's men were defending Linhir against the Corsairs of Umbar when the Grey Company led by Aragorn arrived. Such was the fear inspired by the Army of the Dead that Angbor was the only man who had courage enough to meet with Aragorn, who instructed him to gather his men and ride to the aid of Minas Tirith. It was later mentioned that he and four thousand men arrived at Minas Tirith around the time Aragorn and the Army of the West left for the Black Gate. It was Aragorn who named Angbor "the Fearless".[1]
Etymology[]
Angbor is a Sindarin word meaning "iron fist", from ang, meaning 'iron', and bor, meaning 'fist'.[2]

A The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game model of Angbor
In The Lord of the Rings Online Angbor is the Lord of Lamedon, ruling from the city of Calembel. During the War of the Ring he is charged by Prince Imrahil with protecting the land from the Corsairs of Umbar while other Lords of Gondor ride to the defence of Minas Tirith. Leaving his son Drambor in charge of Calembel, Angbor decides to make the stand against the Corsairs in Linhir where both sides except Angbor flee before the Oathbreakers of Dunharrow. Angbor immediately recognizes Aragorn as his King and after swearing loyalty to him, joins his host with the Grey Company, leading his men in the liberation of Pelargir. Before departing on the Corsair ships, Aragorn orders Angbor to march his men towards towards the White City and the player accompanies his men for a while on their way through Upper Lebennin and Lossarnach before parting ways. Angbor and his men arrive at Minas Tirith shortly after the Battle of the Pelennor Fields is over, and while many of his men stay behind to protect the city, Angbor himself joins the Host of the West. He fights in and eventually survives the Battle of the Morannon.
