In briefanswer capsule

Tar-Ciryatan, the Shipbuilder, was Númenor’s twelfth ruler. Born in 1634, he reigned 160 years, yielded the sceptre in 2029, and died in 2035. Seeking wealth, he built a large royal fleet; his agents carried off metals and gems and treated Middle-earth’s folk harshly. He ignored his father’s wishes and quieted restlessness through voyages east, north, and south before accession. He allegedly forced his father to resign early; some see here the Shadow’s first mark on Númenor.
