Profile of Denethor Steward Of Gondor (Minas Tirith)

At the start of every turn, before Priority is rolled, the controlling player must take a Courage test for Denethor. If the test is passed, all is fine. If the test is failed, Denethor is controlled by the opposing player until the End phase of that turn. Whilst under the control of the opposing player, friendly models cannot target Denethor with shooting attacks of Magical Powers that cause damage and may not make Strikes if they beat him in a fight.

If Boromir is part of the same army as Denethor, then Denethor will automatically pass these Courage tests, so long as Boromir is alive. Should Boromir be slain, then Denethor will automatically fail the next Courage test he must take for this special rule.

If your force contains Denethor then he must be your leader, unless your force also contains Aragorn, King Elessar.
