Gandalf
“He wore a tall pointed blue hat, a long grey cloak, and a silver scarf. He had a long white beard and bushy eyebrows that stuck out beyond the brim of his hat.” —The Fellowship of the Ring, “A Long-expected Party“
Gandalf (Norse; IPA: [gand:alf] – “Elf of the Wand” or “Wand-elf”) the Grey, later known as Gandalf the White, and originally named Olórin (Quenya; IPA: [oˈloːrin] – “Dreamer” or “Of Dreams”), was an Istar (Wizard), sent to Middle-earth in the Third Age to combat the threat of Sauron. He joined Thorin and his company to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from Smaug, convoked the Fellowship of the Ring to destroy the One Ring, and led the Free Peoples in the final campaign of the War of the Ring.
