That’s worth dwelling on, because right now, it’s very difficult to ascertain who has been cast as who. The villain of the show, Oren, isn’t a real character, echoing Peter Jackson and Christopher Tolkien’s invention of Tauriel for The Hobbit trilogy. It’s worth noting that Aragorn is of Numenorean blood, as well as the fact that he’s Isildur’s heir. Isildur’s dad was called Orendil, which is the closest reasonable name to Oren, although there are at least three millennia between the sinking of Numenor and the Battle of Dagorlad, so… maybe it’s Aragorn’s ancestor. I mean, the whole idea of making a show set in the Second Age seems like the basis for young Aragorn.
