Gandalf

{{UC-Monkey))

Gandalf is a character from the famous book/movie series The Lord of the Rings. Gandalf was a Wizard, which in Middle Earth meant he was one of the Istari, a type of Maiar who traveled around disguised as old men so they could help the Elves, Men, Hobbits, Dwarves, and other assembled weirdos who were trying to fight off Sauron and his evil orc minions.

Gandalf's Names
Because Gandalf traveled around so much, and hung out with so many different kinds of people, he went by a lot of different names. He was kind of like my Dad in that respect. Some of Gandalf's more famous monikers included
 * Gandalf the Grey (most commonly)
 * Gandalf the White (after he "returned" from the "dead"
 * Mithrandir (to the elves)
 * Olorin (in the Eastern Isles, before coming to Middle Earth)
 * I don't remember any more right now
