Saruman

Sauruman is a truly ancient Numenorian Elur as he was born on Atlantis during the days when the Elves were still dominating the island. Sauruman is unimagineably powerful, and his spells are some of the most powerful of any Magi in the entire world. Sauruman controls and dominates the ancient Numenorian fortress of Isengard which upon his betrayal became the center of the Kingdom of Isengard.

Sauruman was born during the truly early days of the Numenorian people, and it was many years after his birth that the rebellion would begin which led to the creation of the Empire of Numeron. During this time he had no Magi potential and instead was the captain of a ship which sailed eastward towards Cathay and Ind. During this time he was extremely happy with his lot in life, and his happiness and loyalty was something that drew the Pantheon in when they begin to form the Istari. They saw him as a potential leader of the Order and he was loyal enough that he accepted without question.
