Gandolf the White Sideshow Collectible Weta Bust

“Gandalf the Grey”, later “Gandalf the White”

One of the Istari, second in power to Saruman until after his return in ”The Two Towers” as “Gandalf the White” when he becomes the most powerful of the order. Also one of the Fellowship of the Ring and a member of the WhiteCouncil. Wielder of Narya, one of the ThreeRings (c.f. Rings of Power).

Gandalf accompanies Bilbo and the Dwarves on their Quest of Erebor and is the first to find out the true nature of Bilbo’s ring. He initiates Frodo’s mission and the Council of Elrond and at first the leader of the FotR. During the fight with the Balrog of Moria he falls into the abyss and is lost. He re-appears in FangornForest as “Gandalf the White” and organizes the host of the free people of Middle-earth first against Saruman and his forces and then against Sauron. After Sauron is defeated his mission in Middle-earth is accomplished and he returns to Valinor in a WhiteShip? (together with Bilbo, Frodo and the other keepers of the ThreeRings)

Called Mithrandir by the Elves, his name as a Maia is Olórin.
