Why did Saruman not join Gandalf?
Did Saruman always have a lust for power or did something happen to make him that way?
It seems that Saruman's desire for power grew over time, fueled by his knowledge of magic and his desire to be the strongest and most feared wizard in Middle-earth. He was also influenced by the evil of Sauron, whose dark presence corrupted and twisted him until he became an enemy of the Free Peoples.
