Wizards
It's wizards, my good Snorri, that you are looking for.
They have dual citizenship (I hope that I don't have to explain that), are of a limited hang out (there were only Five), can do all kinds of cool tricks (useful around she-elves, especially if you'd rather not have to dejewel Valar to impress fathers of she-elves), carry big sticks, use them too. As Maia, are just one level below CEO (Chief Eru Officer).
One was known for drinking, smoking, and wandering around talking to everyone (today he would have just iChated), and was always the life of the party, whether that party was a group of dwarves or 200,000 marauding orcs. With long hair and robes, was a real hippy earthy kind of guy who never outstayed his welcome. Rubbed shoulders with the lowly and royalty alike - note that I'll refrain from name-dropping as that would turn into a "who's who of ME," don't cha know.
One of the Five restored the Dwarven kingdom of Erebor. The same cleaned up Moria, which I think has some other name given to it by original owners, who seemingly just up and abandoned the place to squatters. Also this one took down the Boss for the Third Age level, saving all peoples of Middle Earth. Pretty impressive resume I would say.
And Dragons? Phewey! He was so 'above' them that he sent an underling to cool off one of the last ones, as they weren't worth his attention. A Balrog, sometimes known as Durin's Bane (was Durin a Dwarf?), ran from him, and was completely flightless in the wizard's presence (especially when he dropped him from a bridge).
