Gandalf was an Istar. Istari were Maiar that were hand-picked by the Valar to help aid the peoples of Middle-earth in the fight against evil. The Istari (Men called them wizards) took the form of Men but possessed much greater physical and mental power.
For over 2000 years, Gandalf the Grey worked against the rising powers of evil in Middle-earth.
