INKTOBER - Day 21 & 22 - The Wizards

Radagast
A member of the order of wizards specializing in animal lore. Commonly maintains relationships between the wizards and the various animal lords. As one of the five Istari Wizards sent to Middle-Earth by the Valar, Radagast was hand picked by Yavanna, the Valar who created all of the growing things in Middle-Earth, who strongly pressed Curunir (Saruman) to take Radagast as one of the five. Saruman resented his being coerced to include Radagast as one of the Five, as he viewed him as an inferior. This was evident by Saruman's open scorn and criticism throughout the books.Yavanna knew Radagast had a strong love of her creations of nature and wildlife, and that by sending him to Middle-Earth he would be drawn to look to and protect the things he had grown to love while in Aman, and not to fulfill his mission as one of the Istari, which was to stand against Sauron and to inspire Men, Elves, Dwarves and all free people of Middle-Earth for good. While in Middle-Earth, Radagast paid little notice for the doings and actions of the outside world, and would often dissapear into the forests and wilderness for long periods of time. While Radagast failed in his specifically appointed mission as an Istari, he did succeed in fulfilling Yavanna's subterfuge.

Gandalf Big Dick
Gandalf the Grey appeared to mortal Men in the form of a tall man, bent with age and sporting a long flowing beard. Professor Tolkien describes Gandalf's ability to appear outwardly to others as nothing more than a ratty old conjuror (in many ways disguising his true powers), such that when Bilbo first encounters the wizard in the opening pages of The Hobbit he writes: "All that unsuspecting Bilbo saw that morning was an old man with a staff. He had a tall pointed blue hat, a long grey cloak, a silver scarf over which his long white beard hung down below his waist, and immense black boots." Gandalf is also noted to have distinctly bushy eyebrows. After his encounter with the Balrog on 15 January T.A. 3019, Gandalf the Grey returned in renewed corporeal form as Gandalf the White, after which he dressed in strikingly white robes

 Saruman

Just a dick.
