Surion

The youngest of the three children of Anarion, and therefore one of the grandchildren of the formidable Queen Tar-Ancalime of Numenor. Though each of his elder sisters had a claim on the Sceptre ahead of Surion, their fear of the old Queen meant that each of them refused to become their father's Heir, and so the Kingship of Numenor passed eventually to Surion.

The history of Tar-Surion's reign was fated to be dominated by the female side of the royal line. Not only was his inheritance due to the actions of his grandmother and elder sisters, but his own eldest child was a daughter, who would reign in her own right, as Tar-Telperien, Numenor's second Ruling Queen.
