Pallando was one of the five Maiar who made up the Order of Wizards that was sent to Middle-earth to aid the Free Peoples in their struggle against Sauron.

History

Before he came to Middle-earth, Pallando was a Maia of Oromë the Huntsman. He was taken to Middle-earth at the bidding of Alatar, another Istar who took him as a friend.

Pallando and Alatar (known as the Blue Wizards for their sea-blue robes) traveled to the east of Middle-earth with Curumo (Saruman the White) to aid some men and subdue others, primarily the Easterlings and Southrons who worshiped Sauron, and whose numbers were steadily increasing. Saruman later returned to the West, but Pallando with Alatar stayed behind.

Other than this, not much is positively known about Pallando, but it is thought that he most likely failed his mission. However, in Tolkien's later years he provided an alternate name for the wizard, "Rómestámo," meaning "helper of the East".

Character

When Pallando came to Middle-earth, he was clothed in flesh and had the appearance of a wizened old man, though he did not look as old as Gandalf. He, along with Alatar, was dressed in robes of sea-blue, which is why they both came to be known as "the Blue Wizards" or Ithryn Luin.[1] Pallando had a grey beard which was not as long as either Gandalf's or Saruman's. He carried a staff, as did the other Istari, which he could use to channel his magical powers.

Etymology

  • Pallando (IPA: [palˈlando]) is his first known name in Quenya. Its meaning was never explained by the author, however has been suggested that the stem could be palan ("far") and the ending the masculine agental suffix -ndo.
  • Palacendo that means "Far sighted one" in Quenya.
  • Rómestámo (IPA: [ˌroːmesˈtaːmo]) that means "East-helper" in Quenya.

In adaptations

The Hobbit trilogy

When talking to Bilbo, Gandalf mentioned the two Blue Wizards in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. When Bilbo asks how many Wizards there are, Gandalf states that there is himself, Saruman, the two Blue Wizards (whose names he has "quite forgotten"), and Radagast (The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey). The filmmakers did not own the rights to the names, which were published in Unfinished Tales, which is why Gandalf could not remember them.
