<Snipped quote by Dawnscroll>

I remembered that he was sent by the gods to watch over Middle Earth. I couldn't remember whether he was one of them or not. Also, I believe his kind actually were referred to as the Wizards.

His kind were called the Istari; it was an organization of Maiar sent by the Valar to thwart Sauron. And that's ONLY what Men called the Istari because Men are stupid like that.

All in favor of cutting Mardox till he reads the Simillarion?
