In Isildur's youth, Ar-Pharazôn, King of Númenor, was corrupted by the fallen Maia Sauron, who urged that Nimloth the White Tree be cut down. Since Elros was half-elven, from the marriage of Beren to the elf Lúthien, he and his descendants enjoyed much longer life than other men. Isildur's father was Elendil, descended from Elros, founder of the Kingdom of Númenor. In Tolkien's legendarium, the island of Númenor, in the great sea to the West of Middle-earth, was created at the start of the Second Age as a reward to the men who had fought against the fallen Vala Morgoth, the primary antagonist of the First Age. The downfall of Númenor and the changing of the world: the island is drowned by Ilúvatar, and Elendil, Isildur and their people escape to Middle-earth.

In the television series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, the young Isildur is played by the English actor Maxim Baldry. The video game Middle-earth: Shadow of War departs from Tolkien's narrative by having Sauron make Isildur into a Nazgûl or ringwraith. Isildur features briefly in voiced-over flashback sequences of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. The story was abandoned, but Tolkien reused the characters and events. One of the appearances was to be in Númenor just before its fall, with the father as Elendil and the son as Herendil, later called Isildur. Tolkien began a time-travel story, The Lost Road, in which a father and a son were to reappear time and again in human families throughout history. This set the stage for the Ring to pass to Gollum and then to Bilbo, as told in The Hobbit that in turn provided the central theme, the quest to destroy the Ring, for The Lord of the Rings. He was killed by orcs, and the Ring was lost in the River Anduin. He cut the Ring from Sauron's hand, but instead of destroying it, was corrupted by its power and claimed it for his own. He fled with his father when the island was drowned, becoming in his turn King of Arnor and Gondor. Tolkien's Middle-earth, the elder son of Elendil, descended from Elros, the founder of the island Kingdom of Númenor.
