Aragorn I is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien's universe of Middle-earth.
Aragorn I was the fifth of the Chieftains of the Dúnedain.
Aragorn was raised by Elrond in Rivendell while his father Aravir dwelt in the wild.
At his father's death in 2319 T.A., Aragorn in turn became the Chieftain of the Dúnedain. He ruled for the brief period of just eight years, as he was killed by a pack of wild wolves in 2327. Wolves remained a threat to Eriador ever after, and the Rangers of the North had to fight them off many times.
At his death he was followed by his son Araglas.
Aragorn II who would later become King Elessar was his descendant and was named for him.
