Arador, son of Argonui, was the father of Arathorn II, and the grandfather of Aragorn II.
He was the fourteenth Chieftain of the Dunadain and was descended from Aranarth, son of Arvedui.
One year after Arador's son, Arathorn II, was married to Gilraen, Arador was slain by hill-trolls on his way to Rivendell.
Arador was succeeded by his son Arathorn II, who was slain three years after.
