Did the books ever clarify if he was walking around in person or as some sort of projection while safe in Orthanc? I can’t remember. Guess it’s time for a reread!
This Redditor is pretty sure it’s Saruman.
Last time I read the book, I had the same feeling.
So we don’t know if Saruman was there in person or some sort of wizardry type projection of himself. Cool, thanks for the link!
I assumed it was foreshadowing for the Gandalf return
I remember Gandalf saying explicitly that it was not him. We know it was Saruman, just can’t remember if he was in person or some sort of projection.
I see why he was the head of his Order.
