#KINGDOM UNDER FIRE 2 NPC FREE#

Although he sometimes appears to be old and frail, Gandalf the Grey is actually one of the most powerful allies of the good folk of Middle-earth and a guide to the Free Peoples in their struggle against the darkness. 'Also known as the ' Grey Wizard' (his Sindarin name Mithrandir means 'Grey Pilgrim'), Gandalf is perhaps Middle-earth's best-known inhabitant. Players can encounter Gandalf in many regions: Bree, Ered Luin, The Shire, Trollshaws, Lothlorien, Rohan, Gondor, Mordor, and Erebor. Though Saruman is the leader of the five, he envies Gandalf's virtues in getting to understand the folks of Middle-earth and his ability to obtain their ears and trust however, Saruman exaggerates Gandalf's ability of foreseeing, thus undermining himself.

He listens to all and thus he gathers information far beyond what his enemies may fathom, leading to their future destruction. In Lotro, dwarves meet Gandalf already in the introduction sequence and other races find him in Bree, an odd wizard with peculiar comments. From before that and on Gandalf continues to be the mage that vanishes from throngs and fellowships, only to appear in great straits to rescue his friends once again. Tolkien introduces Gandalf already in The Hobbit when he visits Bilbo Baggins in Bag End and it soon is clear that Gandalf had set foot in the Shire long since and astounded the friendly hobbits with his magic fireworks. Of the Five Istari (wizards) Gandalf alone was loyal to his task, and was instrumental in Sauron's defeat. Gandalf is known for his mastery of fire, and bears Narya, the elven ring of Fire. Sent along with four others ( Curumo, Aiwendil, Alatar, and Pallando) to Middle-earth to fight Sauron, he was chosen by Manwë himself for his humility and compassion. Gandalf is a Maia of Manwë and his true name is ' Olórin'. Thus, Gandalf carries many names: ' Mithrandir' to Elves, ' Incánus' to Men of the South, and ' Tharkûn' to Dwarves. He is well known among all races as he in turn values them highly for their respective merits. Gandalf is one particularly eminent character in Tolkien's works, introduced as a renowned wizard long since already in The Hobbit and having a central role in the War of the Ring.
