Isildur was the son of Elendil and a Prince of Gondor. He became a Nazgûl of Sauron before being defeated and replaced by Talion during the War for Mordor.
History[]
The Orcs took the body of Isildur and brought it back to the spirit of Sauron where the dark lord used a vacant one of the nine rings of men and revived him as a ringwraith. The ringwraiths were all defeated and imprisoned by Elves and Men but were revived by Sauron who was growing in power in the abandoned fortress of Dol Guldur. The wraiths fought against the White Council in Dol Guldur and were all again defeated and resurrected by their master. Lady Galadriel banished the nine along with Sauron to Mordor.
The wraiths lay siege of Minas Ithil years later and after a long struggle the city became Minas Morgul. The undead ranger Talion fought against Isildur multiple times but ultimately killed the wraith, letting him rest finally.
