Gandalf, a wizard in The Lord of the Rings, appears as an elderly man with a long, white or gray beard and keen, piercing eyes that convey wisdom and power. He wears a wide-brimmed hat, a cloak (gray or white depending on his form as Gandalf the Grey or White), and carries a tall staff often used to channel his magic. Despite his age, he is strong, agile, and exudes an aura of authority, kindness, and mystery, embodying the balance of wisdom and might.
