Description
'Pippin pressed forward as they passed under the lamp beneath the gate-arch, and when he saw the pale face of Faramir he caught his breath. It was the face of one who has been assailed by a great fear or anguish, but has mastered it and now is quiet. Proud and grave he stood for a moment as he spoke to the guard, and Pippin gazing at him saw how closely he resembled his brother Boromir - whom Pippin had liked from the first, admiring the great man's lordly but kindly manner. Yet suddenly for Faramir his heart was strangely moved with a feeling that he had not known before. Here was one with an air of high nobility such as Aragorn at times revealed, less high perhaps, yet also less incalculable and remote: one of the Kings of Men born into a later time, but touched with the wisdom and sadness of the Elder Race. He knew now why Beregond spoke his name with love. He was a captain that men would follow, that he would follow, even under the shadow of the black wings.'
'Faramir!' he cried aloud with the others. 'Faramir!' And Faramir catching his strange voice among the clamour of the men of the City, turned and looked down at him and was amazed.'

Bfrother lof Boromir, heir to the Stweardship (Held by Denethor II). For a millennium, the Stewards held the throne (but not sitting in it OR wearing the crown. THAT was fior the king, Earnur, who rode forth into Minas Morgul to challenge the Witch-King -and never returned.).
The Stewards, while officially holding the vacant thrown for the king, actually hoped the King or any heir would NEVER return, as it meant he would resume rule, and the Stewards would lose their power.
and revert to their former rank....
