Reputedly the wealthiest individual in Arthedain, Caramir controls quarries, glass and metal forges, textile mills, and harbors all over the kingdom. He also runs ships out of Tharbad all the way to Gondor, Harad, Umbar and Ciryatandor. Caramir, a practical sort who supervises most of his businesses directly, is well known to the Commons of Arthedain and has a natural gift for speaking with them. His reputation for lively mirth and thus his popularity extends to the Silvan Elves of Lindon and Noldoli on Eregion. While Caramir's first wife died at sea two decades ago he has since married the Lady Ammerethiel, a Silvan Elf with an affinity for mortals. Ammerethiel brings cheer to the drab Arthadan courts and gains a devoted and interesting companion for a goodly number of years. Over six feet in height, Caramir is an impressive figure of a man, just entering late middle age, but still possessing a bit of the undignified energy of his wild youth. Neither the greatest warrior nor the finest intellect among the Lords of Arthedain, Caramir has a well-tuned sense of reality and compromise.

T.A. 1432

 
In the year 1432 Lord Caramir Tarma has aged into his later years as a Dúnedain being 107. For many years he and Lady Ammerethiel have lived in peace and comfort enjoying a retirement in Tarambar off of the spoils earned in his younger years as Lord of House Tarmas and The Tarmas Lands (Q. "Tarmëarménar").
