| abstract | - Halbarad was born in TA 2917, being 16 at the time of Arathorn II's death. The son of an influential Ranger captain named Halboron, Halbarad was well-liked by most for his humble attitude and generous soul. Not only this, but Halbarad also became a skilled warrior in his adolescence. In TA 2933, Arathorn II, the then-Chieftain of the Dúnedain, was killed by roaming Orcs. Halbarad was present at the funeral of the Chieftain, Halboron being Arathorn's closest friend. It was at the ceremony where Halboron handed over command of the Dúnedain to Mageth Vorncollo, an Elf warrior who was once a close friend of the Arnorian Kings and had lived among the Dúnedain since Arthedain's fall. Instead of insulting Mageth, Halbarad instead congragulated the Elf, an act that started the friendship between the two.
