Also, "the Grey" was not designated to a specific rank within the order. Only "the White" was used to identify the chief of the order.

Radagast is not Gandalf's brother. Gandalf calls him his cousin in The Hobbit when speaking to Beorn, but that is more than likely because it was written before Lord of the Rings. Gandalf may have simply called him cousin so that Beorn would make a closer association between the two since Gandalf was a stranger to him and Radagast was not.

As to the thread title, Radagast is probably still in Rhosgobel (wherever that is at in today's world) where he has established his own gigantic aviary.
