Eru creasted the Ainur to help make Arda. Some of the Ainur went to Arda and became the Valar, or Powers of the World. Lesser Ainur also went with the Valar. These were the Maiar. They weren't created to serve the Valar, they just did. Melkor also got some Maiar to join him i.e. Sauro and the Balrogs. That gets me thinking, did any Ainur stay with Eru, or did they all come to Arda?
