Case File 02 / Psychological Report
The marshal of Rohan, Éomer is a warrior of direct speech, fierce loyalty, and grief sharpened into action.
Éomer's psychology is loyalty under siege. He is not subtle because his world punishes hesitation: Saruman's influence, Wormtongue's poison, and open war demand fast moral alignment.
His bluntness can become aggression, but it also keeps him from tolerating corruption. Éomer's love for Théoden and Éowyn grounds his warrior identity. He fights not for abstraction, but for kin, horse-lords, and a kingdom that must remember itself.
