  Saruman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saruman likely was true to his mission in the beginning, and actually believed in working to stop Sauron, but his pride and later arrogance (as well as his jealousy towards the Grey Wanderer) turned him into a traitor to the cause he had once served.
Saruman, as a Maia, did not truly die, but his spirit was sundered from his body (much like Sauron's after the Downfall of Númenor, after his defeat by the Last Alliance and after the destruction of the One Ring).
Saruman was once on good terms with the Elves, and was voted in as the leader of the White Council, a group of Elves and Istari united against Sauron.

 Saruman
Saruman despised Gandalf, for I believe he knew who was the more powerful, and he knew he could never sway Gandalf to aid him in his evil plots.

In 2953, Saruman took the tower of Orthanc for his fortress, here he began to build his evil armies, and it was his own forces which did damage to Fangorn Forest, and caused his downfall.

Saruman was instrumental at driving Sauron from Dol Guldur in Mirkwood.
In the first mentions of Saruman (Curunír), it says that he strove to be leader of the council because "his pride and desire of mastery had grown great".

 Encyclopedia of Arda: Saruman
Most often called Saruman the White, Saruman was the first of the five Wizards to arrive in Middle-earth, at the end of the first millennium of the Third Age.
He had returned, though, by III 2463, for he was present at the foundation of the Council of the Wise, and was made their chief (though both Elrond and Galadriel would have preferred Gandalf to take this position).
Saruman's knowledge was vital in this victory, as Gandalf said - 'it was by the devices of Saruman that we drove him from Dol Guldur'.

It gives me a chance to propose a theory: that it was Saruman's investigation of Ring-lore, particularly the One Ring's ability to dominate the wills of others, which first taught him the ability to daunt and influence others with his voice.

The Saruman Player then picks a number from 1 to the number of Nazgul that there are (if all nine are in existence, I to 9), or, if he will Control two Nazgul this turn, two numbers from 1 to the number of the Nazgul.
However, if Saruman is in an Army Combat in which the stack he is Leading takes a 50% or greater loss, and either Aragorn possessing Anduril or Gandalf the White is in the stack that defeated Saruman’s stack, Saruman loses the Ring to one of these two Characters.
Saruman may always refuse Individual Combat, unless he is the Ringbearer, and the Dark Power Player possesses a “Gollum Attempts to Seize the Ring”; Events Card, and plays it; or the Saruman Player possesses fewer than 30 Strength Points on the game-map, in which case he may not refuse Individual Combat.

After the fall of Saruman, Pippin and Merry were reunited with most of the Company and, after a close call while peering into a palantir, Pippin was rushed off to Gondor by Gandalf.
There he was made a member of the Guard of the Citadel of Minas Tirith, and in that position he was able to summon Gandalf to the aid of Faramir when Denethor went mad and tried to kill him.

 Saruman's Ring! - THE TOLKIEN FORUM
If Saruman made a ring of power, then it was probably on the same level as the Elven Rings either comprable to the Three, the Severn or the Nine, and therefore less powerful than the One Ring.
Saruman wanted to get hold of the One, he would have been less worried about this if his Ring was as great and he would have probably been able to find the other ring quite easily if this was the case.
I know that Saruman was a Maia as was Sauron, but Saruman was lessened when he became an Istari and Sauron had once been a Maia of Alue and retained much of the lore of that people.

 Q13.com | KCPQ TV | Q13 FOX News | Saruman cut from final 'Rings' movie
In "The Two Towers," Saruman watched his power fade as enormous walking trees laid waste to his army of ugly orcs and trapped him in his stone skyscraper.
All of the 81-year-old Lee's closing scenes were cut from "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, a move that has angered thousands of hard-core fans and may confuse the casual moviegoer who wonders why one of the story's main villains has simply disappeared.
Instead, the characters mention perfunctorily that Saruman is powerless -- then they move on to the rest of the story.

Saruman, Keeper of Isengard is another advantage granted by an Uruk swarm deck.
Saruman essentially doubles the minions you are facing and makes each of them nearly impossible to kill through the assignment of wounds.
This is certainly the best answer for handling Saruman as it knocks the wizard off his toes even after your opponent has paid the pool for him, essentially denying your opponent four pool at the same time.

 KMC Forums - Saruman Or Gandalf
Saruman the White in his youth, was certainly the wizard with the most panache by all accounts.
Saruman was the stronger wizard, however, since Gandalf was a Maiar, Saruman (essentially) would not have stood a chance in all-out combat.
Also, Saruman was weakened by defiling his title of "the White" (he was described of being as one who breaks something to find out how it works, I believe).

I'm also a little miffed that the robes are white, and note a "robe of many colors," as Saruman is said to wear in the novel.
I can't emphasize how cool this is. Saruman also has a magnet built into his left palm, so he can hold the palantir like an NBA player palming a big fl basketball.
All in all, Saruman is a great figure, and he is an amazing combination of playability, articulation and sculpt.

 The Staff of Saruman - MWArt.com
Saruman (also known as Saruman the White), once the head of the Council of the White, was the wisest and most powerful of that Order.
Saruman had great power over Men's minds and great skill in his hands, and he was especially knowledgeable about the lore of the Elven-rings and the devices of Sauron.

It was only fitting that the Saruman cards created for Lord of the Rings were equally feared, and Saruman, Keeper of Isengard showed this.
Saruman, Servant of the Eye, is widely agreed to be a very good card; combo him with a Berserk Slayer or Sharku and Sharku’s Warg, and you can almost always find a dead companion, while your minion stays for the double move.
Saruman, once the most feared minion in Lord of the Rings, and, in my opinion, he still should be.

 KMC Forums - Sauron vs. Saruman
Saruman would not face Sauron unless saruman was in possesion of the ring.
Saruman could probably give Sauron a run for his money if he remained Saruman the white, i think saruman was seriously weakened by the palantir sessions because sauron showed saruman, as with denethor, there is no victory against mordor.
So saruman went slightly insane, went looking for the ring and lied to Sauron, because he thought that was the only way to beat him.
