Gandalf
The Wizards, also known as the Istari, were powerful angelic beings who took the form of Men to intervene in the affairs of Middle-earth in the Third Age. They were led by Gandalf the Grey and Saruman the White, with Radagast the Brown appearing briefly.
Saruman was installed as the head of the White Council, but he fell to the temptation of power and became the Dark Lord Sauron's unwitting servant. Gandalf, on the other hand, remained true to his mission and helped the Fellowship of the Ring in their quest to destroy the One Ring and defeat Sauron.
Gandalf has been compared to the Norse god Odin and has been described as a figure of Christ. He is a complex and fascinating character who has captured the imaginations of readers and viewers alike.
