Isildur would refuse to destroy the Ruling Ring, instead keeping it for himself. He would try to flee by using the Ruling Ring, which made him invisible, but the Orcs hunted him down and the Ring eventually betrayed him, slipping off his finger as he fled into the river.
The Orcs then shot him full of arrows, killing him. He's the son of Elendil, and related to the king of the land. This is important, as the royal family of the island nation is gifted with extraordinary life a trait that carries forward in Isildur's many-times-great grandson Aragorn.
For those of you counting at home, this makes Isildur around years old when he fights Sauron and claims the One Ring for himself. Looks pretty good, doesn't he? Over the next few years, Sauron goes from ruin to riches, becoming the king's right-hand man — and that's where the young Isildur first comes into the bigger story.
After Sauron becomes the king's advisor, he begins influencing the entire nation with his evil agenda. As Sauron's power grows, he orders the white tree Nimloth to be cut down. The tree is an ancient gift of the Elves and the angelic Valar, who live in the immortal Blessed Realm far in the west of Middle-earth.
In fact, it's that tree's dead descendant that can be seen in the courtyard of Minas Tirith during "The Lord of the Rings.
The youthful royal family member disguises himself and sneaks into the court of the king where he steals a single fruit from the doomed arboreal wonder.
Isildur is seriously wounded as he fights through the guards, but he escapes and keeps the fruit safe, even while the tree is cut down and burned. Eventually, Sauron convinces the king to attack the immortal lands in the West, and the king sails off with his entire military.
Of course, the puny mortal men are no match for the god-like Valar and the immortal Elves, and they are swallowed up by the sea when they arrive. The group barely escapes the Atlantis-like catastrophe, and their little fleet is scattered in the process. The ships of Isildur and his brother end up landing far in the south, where they establish the nation of Gondor.
The brothers become co-rulers and begin busily building up cities, towers, fortresses, and other impressive construction projects. This is the same city that is later captured by the Ringwraiths , and becomes their ghastly home base.
Isildur keeps the sapling of the White Tree in Minas Ithil, and he and his brother and father busily tend to their new domains. However, they leave one critical person out of their calculations: Sauron. Of course, this is a pretty natural thing to do. But it turns out that, while his corporeal body is lost, Sauron's spirit returns to Middle-earth and takes a new form. Gondor is particularly close to his fortress region of Mordor, with Isildur's city of Minas Ithil right on his doorstep.
