Harunir, son of Harnion, son of Harnor, was born in the North Downs in 2953 of the Third Age.
His father, like his grandfather, was a Ranger of the North and Harunir was trained to put his skills to the service of the Dunedain.
He grew wielding a sword, was trained in the use of the bow and learned how to survive in the wildest areas of the world.
When it was deemed ready, he was sent to patrol the territories that once belonged to the kingdom of Arnor, defending the borders from threats coming from Angmar. He spent many years in the areas along the borders of the north, often in solitude. This made him a shy and quiet person, not that it was a strange thing among the Rangers.
In the long, lonely nights he liked to recall the old stories of his people that his mother Merileth told him when he was a a child.
In recent years he moved to the south, to oversee the lands around Bree and the Shire.
