An alias of Aragorn from The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien
Set following the events of the three books, players guide a young hobbit around The Shire (the hub world), who listens to stories told by Samwise Gamgee (a hobbit) about Aragorn.
They formed in 1992 when multi-instrumentalists Steve Babb (then known as "Stephen DeArqe") and Fred Schendel began to write and record Journey of the Dunadan, a concept album based on the story of Aragorn from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.
When Lord Aragorn entered the city, Peregrin persisted in familiarly referring to Aragorn by the nickname he had garnered as a Ranger of the North: "Strider", even in front of foreign dignitaries such as King Éomer of Rohan.

During the War of the Ring, Peregrin Took, a companion of Aragorn's in The Fellowship of the Ring, became a member of the elite Citadel Guard at Minas Tirith, capital of Gondor.
The player begins the game as Frodo Baggins, and progressively acquires the remaining members of the Fellowship; Samwise Gamgee, Peregrin Took, Meriadoc Brandybuck, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and Gandalf (Boromir strangely only makes a single brief appearance).
Jonathan Elias Weiske voiced over the character "Frodo" for the The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest video game (in German Die Abenteuer von Aragorn)
In T.A. 3019 he was crowned King Elessar of the Reunited Kingdom of Gondor and Arnor (Aragorn was an descendant of Fíriel, a princess of Gondor who married prince Arvedui of Fornost a few generations before the line of the kings of Gondor ended).
Sam, now the mayor of Hobbiton, is preparing a grand party for King Elessar (Aragorn), who is on his way to Hobbiton along with Arwen.
The short version of "The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen" can be found in Appendix A of The Lord of the Rings.
