Isildur was born in the year 3209 of the Second Age in Númenor, the first son of Elendil son of Amandil, the last Lord of Andúnië.

Isildur was the last king to rule both Gondor and Arnor until King Elessar reunited the kingdoms at the beginning of the Fourth Age.

Isildur would not heed the advice of Elrond and Cirdan and instead of destroying the One Ring by casting it into Mount Doom, he took it as his own.

 Encyclopedia of Arda: Isildur’s Heir   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Isildur was the eldest son of Elendil, and so by right he and his heirs should have inherited the title of High King and ruled the Two Kingdoms of Arnor and Gondor.
Isildur's only remaining Heir was Valandil, kept safe in Rivendell but only eleven years old at that time, and unable to take up his rule.
Arvedui, Isildur's Heir through twenty-three generations, was the last King to rule in the north; he attempted to reclaim the High Kingship, but failed, and the last remnant of royal Arnor was overrun by its enemies.

 White Tree of Gondor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first White Tree of Gondor came from a fruit that Isildur, at great personal risk, managed to steal from Nimloth the Fair, the White Tree of Númenor, before that one was destroyed at Sauron's insistence.
This sapling was brought to Middle-earth on Isildur's ship, and it was eventually planted in Minas Ithil before the house of Isildur.
The dead tree is removed from the court but is placed in the Tombs of the Kings with all the honour that would normally be accorded a fallen monarch.

Isildur,™ Elendil’s son, then used the broken hilt of Narsil to cut the One Ring from Sauron’s finger, breaking the bonds of his power, banishing his evil shadow into the darkness.
The armor and helm that Isildur™ wore in the battle of the Last Alliance of Elves and Men was similar to that of his father Elendil.
Like Elendil’s, Isildur’s helm was more ornate than the standard Numenorean version, and instead of the two large seabird style wings adorning the sides, Isildur’s helm bears four smaller crests representing the points on a compass and also features feathered wing styled cheek guards.
