gandalf as a maia - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

who of the fellowship (if any)knew that gandalf was a maia and not just a "wizard".I think that elrond knew and probably cirdan knew.

Nobody knew. It was a secret. Gandalf hardly even knew.

if he hardly knew, then why did he remember he was called olorin in the west?

burrahobbit · 03-22-2005, 10:24 AM

That was one of the things that he remembered.

And yet he basically told Faramir, "Olorin I was in my youth in the West that is forgotten". Of course Faramir probably wouldn't know the significance of that but it was quite a gamble that someone who did wouldn't hear of it.

So now you are trying to tell me that Faramir is stupid? Because that's what it is looking like you are saying. Did you forget where he grew up?

No-one in the fellowship knew. There were others in Middle-earth who might have had an inkling.
