Gandalf was always clad in grey, had a long, grey beard and looked like a strange old man. But he was a wizard, for long time around in Middle-Earth to do his works there and put things together. He was known by Elves, Dwarves and Men and had a friendship to a little known folk called Hobbits, which seemed little important.
Asked by the Dwarves of Thorin & Co. for help in a dragon problem he sent the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins with them on their journey, to involve the Hobbits a little bit more in the wide world and to have an advantage over the Dragon, who knew Dwarves quite well, by having something that surprises him.
