Comments and Annotatations

His role seems mainly to be duped into helping Saruman capture Gandalf:

"Radagast the Brown!" laughed Saruman, and he no longer concealed his scorn. "Radagast the Bird-tamer! Radagast the Simple! Radagast the Fool! Yet he had just the wit to play the part that I set him." LotR - The Council of Elrond
