The learned and powerful Saruman devoted himself to studying the ways of his enemy so that he could devise a way to defeat him. To this end, he amassed a vast library of arcane knowledge in his tower. Saruman's main interest was mastering the Ringcraft; for it was by creating the Rings of Power that the Dark Lord had once almost conquered all of Middle-earth and could reclaim the missing one. Over the years, he sought clues to the whereabouts of the Ring, hoping to be the first to find it and perhaps be able to harness its power for himself. While Saruman rejoiced and planned with his allies to stand against Sauron, he secretly fell in love with the ways of his adversary, a fate hastened by the use of the Palantír of Orthanc. The wizard first used the Seeing Stone to spy on Mordor, but in time he came into direct contact with the Dark Lord. Try as he might, Saruman was no match for his enemy. Pride blinded him to his own weakness, and Sauron, through lies and sheer force of will, made the White Wizard his vassal; a tool to be controlled and ultimately discarded in his design to subjugate all the free peoples of the world. As head of the Istari Order, Saruman the White was tasked with organizing the defense of Middle-earth against the revival of the Dark Lord. Sauron. Two centuries before the War of the Ring, the pale wizard was given the keys to Orthanc, an ancient tower of black stone, surrounded by a massive wall at the foot of the Misty Mountains. In this fortress, he sat on a great carved throne.
