A largely worthless version of Gandalf that unfortunately uses one of the better subtitles for that character.  It attempts to balance the +1 strength increase over a base Gandalf with absolutely no game text whatsoever.  If you need a stronger Gandalf, use Defender of the West, Friend of the Shirefolk, or Mithrandir, depending on your Fellowship composition.  Or just pack Glamdring.
