As the opening monologue says, nine rings were given to the race of men, who above all else desire power." Given enough time, even men like Aragorn or Faramir would have fallen to it. | |

The idea that someone might want to destroy the ring doesn't occur to him. He would have feared Aragorn for that reason. | |
