radagast
hey, who what where is radagast the brown, gandalf's 'close' friend, and why does he have no visible part to play in anything of the 3rd age? i havent bothered reading anything about the 2 earlier ages, as they are so damn monotonous, so excuse my ignorance if he is a big-wig wizard in these times.

The Wizards weren't around in the first two Ages; at least not in Middle-Earth proper, they were in Aman.
Radagast fell in love with the birds and beasts of Middle-Earth and fell away from the purpose of the Istari; to reunite the Free Peoples of Middle-Earth. He did do a few things; many think he was tied to all the aid that Gwaihir gave to Gandalf, and he delivered Saruman's message.

Radagast came with Gandalf, and as I know he was naive and not so smart (coompare to Gandalf and Saruman).

He helped Gandalf get into a trap, unwittingly, and later he hlped free Gandalf, also unwittingly.

But he didn't mean to do that to Gandalf. He is just so naive.

He was Saruman's tag-a-long. Yvanna wanted someone from her people to accompany Saruman (who was of Aule's). This explains why Saruman was dismissive. Check out UT for quotes.
