What about 🧙Saruman's history?

[Elassar]

Saruman also known valinor as Curumo was a miar spirit and the leader of the five Istari, we all know of his betrayal of the free people but when did he betray them and what has he done before that? Who really is saruman???

Saruman is one of the Maiar. The Maiar were primordial spirits created to help the Valar first shape the World. Five of this spirits, in the Third Age, became the incarnated Wizards.

Ostensibly he helped the cause of good but was vain and arrogant. He prized knowledge and sought it out (though he seemed to prefer READING about it rather than experiencing it; see the difference between an historian and an archaeologist).

WHEN he betrayed them? Shortly before The Hobbit when he began to covet the Ring for himself. At least, that's when his heart turned. He didn't join Sauron until some time later (presumably when Sauron caught him using the Palantír). His capture of Gandalf and attack on Rohan would have been his big reveal but it all crumbled rather fast and in less than a year he'd lost his position, authority, and almost all of his power (save his voice).
