Isildur
Character in Tolkien's Middle-earth
Isildur (Quenya: [iˈsildur]) is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, the elder son of Elendil, descended from Elros, the founder of the island Kingdom of Númenor. He fled with his father when the island was drowned, becoming in his turn King of Arnor and Gondor. He cut the Ring from Sauron's hand, but instead of destroying it, was influenced by its power and claimed it for his own. He was killed by orcs, and the Ring betrayed him by slipping off his finger just before his death. The Ring then became lost in the River Anduin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isildur
