But, of course, if you don't have those....

There were five Istari: Curumno (Saruman the White), Aiwendithil (or something like that) (Radagast the Brown), Alatar the Blue, Pallando the Blue, and Olórin (Gandalf the Grey). They were Maiar sent to Middle-earth to lead the Free People to victory over Sauron.

The Ithryn Luin (Blue Wizards) went East with Saruman (far East, as in past Mordor and Khand), and never returned. Saruman did, but apparently never told anyone else what happend to them. Tolkien himself said that he didn't know what happened to them, but he "suspects that they were corrupted by Sauron" or became leaders of cults.
