Gandalf was a wizard in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. To the Elves and Men of Gondor he was known as Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgrim. "To the east he goes not." At the conclusion of the War of the Ring he accompanied Frodo, Bilbo, Elrond, and Galadriel on a sea voyage to the Undying Lands in the west.
He is one of the five Istari, angelic spirits sent by the Lords of the West in human form to motivate the inhabitants of Middle-earth to resist the evil of Sauron. In the West he was the Maia known as Olorin, and once served the Vala Manwe.
