31. Gandalf
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
First Grey, then White, Gandalf is a soft-spoken wizard who has resided in Middle Earth for about 2000 years. A former resident of Valinor (where he was known as Olórin) and the last member of the Istari to come to Middle Earth, landing in Mithlond and kept the wizard code in Middle Earth, making sure Wizards would aid Humans, Elves, and Dwarves, but only through counsel; under no circumstances would the Wizards use force to command them through force. This, however, was an injunction that the head of the Order, Saruman, disregarded. Obviously the opposing views soured the relationship between Saruman and Gandalf. Meanwhile, he FAAAAARRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT~~~
Enough with the fuckin dork talk. Gandalf is always one to lend a wise word and kick a ton of ass. His brilliant teachings are only rivaled by his ability to swing a sword and cast magic missile (or whatever the fuck magic he does). He's unstoppable in death since he came back as Gandalf the White. He can take charge and command massive armies or he can head into battle himself and dispatch of orcs more than half his age.
Gandalf is played by a 70 year old gay man from England. Gandalf is a fucking badass.
Defining moment: His fight to the death with the Balrog at the beginning of "Two Towers." I don't usually throw around the word "epic" (Go fuck yourself, internet. Try to use it in the right context for once), but the majority of the Lord of the Rings series was done in such a remarkably huge way, that there's no other way for me to describe it. Unless "Holy fucking shit look at that" is a description.
