Saruman, also referred to as Saruman the White, is a minifigure from the theme The Lord of the Rings that first appeared in LEGO The Lord of the Rings: The Video Game. He will make his first physical appearance in 79005 The Wizard Battle.
Background
Saruman was the leader of the five Istari, or wizards, in Middle-earth. He was once a powerful and wise leader of his order, but after studying too deep into the arts of the enemy, he eventually joined him, and Saruman's friends became his foes. He started breeding orcs with goblin-men to make Uruk-hai. He later sent a band of Uruk-hai to capture the Ring-bearing Hobbits (but they caught Merry and Pippin instead). After Merry and Pippin escaped the Uruk-hai and found Treebeard, they attacked Isengard and flooded it by destroying the dam. Saruman was killed later in Isengard by Grima Wormtongue after attempting to kill him.
Notes
- In the films, Saruman is played by Sir Christopher Lee, who also portrayed Count Dooku in the Star Wars films.
- Saruman uses the same head as Count Dooku's third variant.
- Saruman's staff, unlike Gandalf's, consists of multiple pieces.
