Don't blame my eyes, it was just the graph paper.

Both names of Gandalf, I think?
I'm wondering if it's one of those passwords where each clue connects to something, and that something is the password (like the 'Tolkien' one you did a while ago). Because I think that:
3. Is Stormcrow (co + worm + str) earthquaked/shaken up ... (Although at first I was using the standard shortening of street - St - and got as far as StormCOW.
... and that the password might be GANDALF. (It was only when 'Stormcrow' started to form that I thought this, though. Thought Tharkun and Incanus was a coincidence at first).
4. Olorin (Ol (small old) + R + Oin).
I think 5 might be Mithrandir - but the only bit I can make work is 'deer' for 'dir' - 'ran' being the wrong tense for 'jogs.'

Ha! Told you you'd get it after the first couple clues.
But this must be a record - to solve all in one post.
Any guesses about why Mithrandir?
PASSWORD: GANDALF
1. THARKUN Listen! In mirrored nut is he.
2. INCANUS He blends local star with biblical brother.
3. STORMCROW Earthquake happens while company meets derogatory dragon on short street, and he appears.
4. OLORIN Small aged dwarf takes direction from him.
5. MITHRANDIR He hears player jogs with animals.
