'Istari' is the name for the 5 Maiar sent to Middle-earth to aid the peoples there in their fight against Sauron. All Maiar are immortal. Their physical being in Arda can be wounded/killed, but they live on, like when Saruman dies and his spirit wanders but does not have the strength to take physical shape anymore; when Gandalf's spirit is sent back to Middle-earth and given shape; when Sauron falls at the end of the Second Age and must wait until the end of the Third Age when his strength is regained...
