Saruman

Saruman is a powerful and wise wizard from J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth, known for his deep knowledge of magic and lore. Initially an ally of the heroic forces, he becomes corrupted by his desire for power and envy of Sauron, the dark lord. Saruman's pursuit of control leads him to betray his allies, creating a rival to Sauron’s influence. His fall from grace highlights themes of temptation and the dangers of unchecked ambition. Despite his intelligence, his downfall illustrates that even the wise can be led astray by their pride and desire for dominance.
