History
With five hundred archers of their people, Derufin and his brother Duilin travelled to the aid of Minas Tirith, far to the east of their own lands that lay under the shadow of the White Mountains.[1] There, the brothers fought together in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, and both were lost in an assault on the mighty Mûmakil.[2]

Portrayal in Adapations
2015: The Lord of the Rings Online:
- Derufin and his brother are hunting enthusiasts. Bored waiting for battle, they sneaked across the river to Ithilien to hunt. They can be found in Bar Húrin. In Epic Volume IV: The Strength of Sauron the player accompanies them as they attempt to hunt mûmakil. They encounter more than one mûmak and, finding them larger than expected, are quickly forced to flee. However the brothers note the beasts' eyes as vulnerable targets, and despite the failure they agree to help the player search Osgiliath for Faramir in exchange for the assistance. The brothers accompany the player into the city, and the group succeeds in damaging Grond before encountering Gothmog and being forced to retreat.
