 Gandalf the Grey is the guide of the Fellowship of the Ring. Wizard and legendary friend of the Hobbits, guiding Bilbo Baggins on a quest of his own, Gandalf first discovers the true nature of the One Ring just as Sauron sends the Nazgul in search of it.
 Though Gandalf is betrayed by Saruman, the White Wizard, he sends Frodo with his companions to Rivendell and soon joins them himself. Gandalf leads the fellowship in his infinite knowledge of Middle-earth and saves the rest of the nine in the Mines of Moria.
Although he fell battling the Balrog in Moria, he was sent back to Middle Earth as Gandalf the White to complete his errand. Aside from aiding Frodo in his journey, Gandalf did many other chief deeds during the War of the Ring, including freeing Theoden from the evil spells of Saruman and Wormtongue, and casting Saruman out and taking over as the head of the White Council. After the War of the Ring Gandalf sailed from the Grey Havens with Elrond, Bilbo, and Frodo. It is believed that he also took his beloved horse, Shadowfax.
