  TolkienWiki: Castamir
Castamir was a Lord of great consequence during the reign of King Valacar, holding the office of Captain of the Ships, and being close kin to the King himself.
Yet it was during the Kinstrife that Castamir truly came to the fore, becoming the leader of the rebel Dúnedain disputing the Kingship of Eldacar, Valacar's son.
Yet Castamir's cruelty was to prove his downfall, as many Dúnedain chaffing under the Usurper's iron rule fled north to the Court of the exiled King, swelling the number of Eldacar's followers until at last Eldacar deemed the time had come to regain the throne from the hated Usurper.

 The Guild Companion: Rethinking Umbar
The loss of Umbar was grievous to Gondor, not only because the realm was diminished in the south and its hold upon the Men of the Harad was loosened, but because it was there that Ar-Pharazôn the Golden, last King of Númenor, had landed and humbled the might of Sauron.
This was remembered in Minas Anor and in Ithilien; and there love for Castamir was further lessened when it became seen that he cared little for the land, and thought only of the fleets, and purposed to remove the king's seat to Pelargir.
Likewise, the hope cherished by Castamir's descendants of reclaiming Gondor from the house of Eldacar will be kept alive only so long as they retain certain qualifications for ruling a realm of the Faithful: pure blood and a renunciation of the Dark.
