During the Battle of Castle Black, Donnel takes part in defending the Wall against Mance Rayder's forces. He helps load the barrels onto the ramps. When Castle Black's inner gate is threatened by the giant Mag Mar Tun Doh Weg, he accompanies Grenn, Cooper, and three other black brothers to defend it. Although he initially wavers and considers fleeing upon seeing the giant, he is convinced by Grenn to stay and fulfill his oath to the Night's Watch. They successfully kill the giant, but all of the black brothers are slain in the process. Their bodies are discovered by Jon Snow and Samwell Tarly after the battle.[1]
After the arrival of Stannis Baratheon and his forces, though not seen Donnel is among the numerous bodies of fallen black brothers burned in Castle Black's courtyard.[2]

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Donnel Hill, nicknamed "Sweet Donnel Hill", is a steward of the Night's Watch and the squire of Ser Mallador Locke. He claims to be a bastard of House Lannister.
While the ranging force camps at the Fist of the First Men, Donnel is among the fourteen brothers (alongside Chett, Lark, Dirk, Ollo Lophand, Paul and Clubfoot Karl) who plot to murder Jeor Mormont, Sam and other prominent brothers and to desert. The sudden snowfall and the subsequent attack of the Others foils their plan. However, during the Mutiny at Craster's Keep Donnel sides with those who are loyal to Mormont; it is unknown what made him change his mind. He and the other Loyalists make it to Castle Black long before Jon and Sam.
Donnel survives the Battle of Castle Black. He is not one of the brothers who go with the blacksmith Donal Noye to protect the gate, thus he is not killed by the giant Mag.
Donnel is one of the four brothers who, at Jon's command, shoot arrows at Mance Rayder (actually, it is Lord of Bones in disguise) while he is executed by burning, in order to grant him a quick and painless death.
