My "Dad" and I used to discuss Ol' Tom and we could never really pin him down. We just took him as someone like Olórin only max level if you know what I mean.
But yeah after reading the Silmarillion, being one of the Eru Ilúvatar checks.
On a different note I wonder what ever happened to the two blue wizards who were sent to the east.
I have no idea. I haven't read many of the lost tales. Are they in any of them by chance?
I'll do some research when I get home.
So they are mentioned in the silmarillion: Of the rings of power and the first age and then something about unfinished tales: The Istari
This is all I know. I wonder if they would have picked up where Morgoth/Melkor, Sauron and Saruman failed.
"I think that they went as emissaries to distant regions, east and south... Missionaries to enemy occupied lands as it were. What success they had I do not know; but I fear that they failed, as Saruman did, though doubtless in different ways; and I suspect they were founders or beginners of secret cults and "magic" traditions that outlasted the fall of Sauron."
