Gandalf aka Mithrandir

Curandir · 09-04-2002, 01:43 AM

Here is my idea on what Gandalf is and is not. Please critique me and let me know where I may have this wrong. Gandalf is of the same "stuff" that Sauron is, only that Gandalf did not hunger for power and dominion. In fact when Gandalf returns as the White wizard you could say that he is the antithesis to Sauron. Gandalf's spirit has been around since just shortly after the Valar were sung into being. (One side question, If Sauron is Melkor's little helper, who was Gandalf answering to?) Just thought this might prove to be an interesting disscussion.
