The Blue Wizards - Ithryn Luin - were the maiar of Oromë and went with Curunir[Saruman] into the East of Middle-Earth and never returned ... they apparently founded gambling empires and dwarf-bordellos there which is to say that they failed as J.R.R. Tolkien said in his letters

They went as emissaries to distant regions, east and south, far out of Númenórean range; missionaries to 'enemy-occupied' lands as it were. What success they had there I do not know, but I fear that they failed, as Saruman did, thought doubtless in different ways; and I suspect they were founders or beginners of secret cults and 'magic' traditions that outlasted the fall of Sauron
