Characters of Middle-earth: Radagast the Brown

The web team for the Lord of the Rings Online has updated their Exploring Middle-earth series with the addition of Radagast the Brown! This lonely wizard was only mentioned briefly in both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings; in both instances he played minimal roles. Yet none could help but be intrigued by the master of beast and bird lore; for the brown wizard was closely attuned to nature. A sample of the write-up can be found below:

Although he dwells in Rhosgobel on the edge of Mirkwood Forest, Radagast has been seen throughout Eriador of late, following strange purposes that he keeps to himself. Travelers who encounter Radagast need not be alarmed, however, for he is no friend to the dark forces rising in deepest Angmar; rather, his intentions are good and his actions most often work to the betterment of the Free Peoples of Middle-earth ... or at least of the beasts who live alongside them. Much can be learned from Radagast, especially about the wilds of Middle-earth and all the living things found there.
