In briefanswer capsule

Aratan was Isildur’s second son. While Isildur journeyed to hold rule in Eriador, Orcs struck his unguarded camp between Greenwood and the Great River near Loeg Ningloron, the Gladden Fields. Nearly his whole company perished, including Elendur, Aratan and Ciryon, the three older sons. His wife and youngest child Valandil had stayed in Imladris.
