Congratulations!!! You are Gandalf the White.
A wizard belonging to the Istari, second in power only to Saruman the White. He appeared in Middle-earth around the year 1000 of the Third Age and immediately received Narya from Cirdan the Shipwright – one of the three Elven Rings. For nearly two thousand years, Gandalf thwarted Sauron's schemes and tirelessly fought against the Enemy. It was he who persuaded the dwarf Thorin Oakenshield to embark on an expedition to the Lonely Mountain and made the dwarves take the hobbit Bilbo Baggins with them. During this expedition (2941), Bilbo found the One Ring; Gandalf did not immediately understand the true nature of the ring found by "Master Baggins," but gradually became convinced of his suspicions, and therefore asked the Rangers of the North to guard the Shire from Sauron's servants. In 3001, at Gandalf's urging, Bilbo Baggins gave the ring to his nephew Frodo, and Gandalf also persuaded Frodo to go to Mordor. At the famous Council of Elrond, Gandalf was elected as one of the Keepers. Together with everyone else, he reached Moria, where he fell, slain by a Balrog; however, he was returned to Middle-earth, already as Gandalf the White, to complete what he had begun. After the War of the Ring, Gandalf left Middle-earth together with Elrond and Galadriel
