Wizards

=Wizards=

The Wizards were from the order of the Maiar more properly called Istari. There were five of them (though only two appear in the films) that were sent to Middle Earth early in the Third Age to help fight Sauron. However, the head of the order, Saruman the White, was corrupted by the temptations of the power of the Ring. Gandalf fell in Moria when battling a Balrog, but he was sent back to Middle Earth to finish his task.
