Saruman

Also known as Saruman the White or Saruman the Many Colored, he is a 100th level Alchemist/Astrologer with access to many potent spells and items. In ICE/MERPS he has access to Fire and Lightning spells and can use the Bard spells. He eventually learns all of Evil Magician as well.

In Book
Saruman is considered arrogant and envious of Gandalf. Saruman is head of the White Council (of the Third Age) and is a chief member from Aule's servants. Saruman is most like Sauron of the Istari. He eventually looks into the Palantir and loses the constest of wills against the Dark Lord Sauron. Sauron fails in taking Saruman's mind over completely and ends up making Saruman into an even more dark character.

Saruman eventually betrays the White Council and the Free Peoples of Middle Earth. He makes Isengard into a breeding pit of Orcs, Wargs, and Men. Saruman imprisons Gandalf atop of Orthanc but is rescued by Gwaihir. Saruman meets Gandalf the White and ends up being cast out of the White Council by Gandalf's hand. Saruman remains in Orthanc until Treebeard lets him go.

After leaving Isengard, Saruman rouses a band of ruffians to go scour the Shire. Saruman eventually meets his end at the hands of his servant Grima Wormtongue who in turn is shot full of arrows by the Halflings of the Shire. His spirit was the first of the Istari to leave Middle Earth!
