Olorin's first home was in Almaren, and from there he moved to Valinor, where he continued to receive his mail until his death. There, he was employed at various times by Nienna Pity Products and Lorien Dreams Corp. At the time of his death, he was working on a secret mission for the Government in Taniquetil. Olorin was a veteran of the Melkor War I, Melkor War II, and Melkor War III, and acted as an observer during the War of Wrath. He was awarded the Grey Cloak by the Mahanaxar in 1000, 3rd Age. In Middle-Earth, he worked closely with Elrond of Rivendell and Galadriel of Lothlorien for the preservation of ancient cultures, and served a lengthy term on the White Council as Leader of the Opposition to Sauron. Olorin will be remembered for his love of wandering, his fascination with fire, and his fiery temper.
