Balin - I'm undoubtedly Balin. Sure I know he isn't technically a LotR character, but stick with me. I'm happy to sit on the sidelines and be a team player always aiding others, and when I attempt...

1420! Where did Saruman go?

I'm quite content with Sauron's whereabouts after death, to be a shadow wandering Middle Earth forever. But Saruman was rejected by the Valar as well. Does he share in Sauron's fate? I surely hope...
