Duilin, son of Duinhir, rides from the uplands of Morthond with his brother Derufin and five hundred bowmen to aid Gondor. A tall archer, he takes part in the perilous assault against the mûmakil on the Pelennor. He and Derufin are trampled by the great beasts, their shared courage marking their final stand.
Description
Duilin is described as a tall man and bowman from the uplands of Morthond, the great Blackroot Vale.

As an archer, he is associated with a bow and practical equipment, though no particular clothing is described. His bearing is that of a tall, capable, alert bowman.
