Saruman

Physical Description

tall wizard, white robes, long hair beard Saruman is an old man with pale skin that can shift to deathly white or livid tones with emotion, a long face with a high forehead that appears lined and shrunken under stress, and deep darkling eyes that flicker with inner light or kindle red with rage. His white hair and beard retain strands of black about the lips and ears, and he is swathed in a great cloak that changes color with movement while clutching a heavy black staff in a clawed hand. Tall and commanding as the fallen wizard of Isengard, he projects an aura of weary authority and hidden power even when defeated and crawling away. Saruman is a well-fed and well-pleased man with black eyes that gleam with malice and amusement, stare darkly, or show a strange look of mingled wonder, respect and hatred. He draws himself up to his full height when confronting others and wears a dirty cloak. After death a grey mist gathers about the body, which shrinks as long years of death are revealed, the face becoming rags of skin upon a hideous skull; a pale shrouded figure rises like smoke before dissolving.
