Mablung
Mablung the Ranger in the New Line film
Ranger of Ithilien during the War of the Ring. Mablung was a member of the company of Faramir. He was born sometime during the late Third Age.
In early March of 3019 of the Third Age, Mablung helped Faramir ambush a group of Haradrim on their way to Mordor. No enemies were left alive.
Mablung was one of the first rangers to capture Frodo Baggins, Sam Gamgee, and Gollum, who were on the quest to destroy the One Ring.
When the company reached Henneth Annun, Mablung accompanied Anborn in capturing Gollum from the Forbidden Pool.
Later in March, directly before the Battle of the Morannon, Mablung led a company to tell the Host of the West that the enemy would attack swiftly. He and his troops had located several groups of Orcs and Easterlings ready to launch surprise attacks.
Since he was present at the Battle of Morannon, it can be assumed that Mablung was either killed in battle or survived to see the downfall of Mordor.
