Who Were the FIVE Wizards of Middle-Earth? - Lord of the Rings Explained

There were five Wizards sent to Middle-earth to oppose Sauron, but what happened to them all? And why do we know so much about Gandalf and Saruman, yet so little about the mysterious Blue Wizards? In this video, we explore the complete history of the five Istari: Gandalf the Grey, Saruman the White, Radagast the Brown, and the two Blue Wizards, Alatar and Pallando. We'll examine who the Wizards really were, their origins as Maiar in Valinor, why the Valar sent them to Middle-earth, and the restrictions placed upon their powers. We'll also explore the influence of Nienna on Gandalf, Saruman's corruption, Radagast's unusual role, and Tolkien's changing ideas about the fate of the Blue Wizards. Why were the Istari forbidden from confronting Sauron through force? Why did Saruman abandon his mission? And did any of the Wizards truly accomplish what they were sent to do? From the Undying Lands to the distant East of Middle-earth, this is the story of the five Wizards and the mysterious purpose behind their arrival.
