Radagast the Brown concerned himself mainly with plants and animals, living in Mirkwood for many years. After arriving in Middle-earth, the two Blue Wizards apparently went east before the War of the Ring whether they played a part in the events of that war is unknown. Of those who came to Middle-earth, sent by the Valar, five are known, the Heren Istarion (Order of Wizards). The Wizards were known by various names and were arrayed in different colors.

They were forbidden to dominate the free peoples of Middle-earth or to match Sauron's power with power and if they deviated from their appointed task their powers and memory of Valinor would begin to wane.

However, Manwë said that was all the more reason to go, and he commanded him go, whereupon Varda said, "Not as the third." Yavanna asked Curumo to take Aiwendil also (later named Radagast), and Alatar took his friend Pallando (Rómestámo) as his companion. Olórin claimed he was too weak and that he feared Sauron. Manwë summoned Olórin (later named Gandalf), asking if he would go as the third messenger. Only two Maiar came: Curumo (later named Saruman) sent by Aulë, and Alatar (Morinehtar), sent by Oromë.

He then summoned a council which concluded that the Valar were to send three messengers to Middle-earth to protect the free peoples and reassure them that the Valar had not forgotten them. In the Undying Lands around TA 1000, Manwë (leader of the Ainur, and King of the Valar and Arda) learned that the dark lord Morgoth's most loyal lieutenant, Sauron, was returning to power.
