Além do que Shevliaskovic disse (e o que é absolutamente verdade), é digno de nota acrescentar isto:

Radagast é bastante parecido com os dois "desconhecidos" Istari (os chamados Blue Wizards) porque ele lidou com "questões de fundo" ( manutenção geral , eu diria) em vez de < em> ação direta . Assim, não sabemos muito sobre eles, e seu destino depois da Guerra do Anel é em grande parte desconhecido.

Radagast foi inicialmente o homem que Isengard seria entregue após a queda de Sauron:
Gandalf looks at him. 'I am the White Wizard now,' he said -
'look at your many colours.' Saruman is [?clad] in a filthy mud
colour. 'They seem to have run.' Gandalf takes his staff and
breaks it over his knee. [?He gives a thin shriek.] 'Go, Saruman,'
he said, 'and beg from the charitable for a day's digging.'
Isengard is given to the Dwarves. Or to Radagast?]

Não temos certeza se Radagast realmente teve sucesso ou fracassou e, portanto, o que aconteceu com ele; Tolkien escreveu que ele desistiu de sua missão como um dos Wizards, tornando-se obcecado demais com animais e plantas. Ainda assim, desde que ele foi especificamente escolhido por Yavanna, enquanto ele falhou em ajudar com Sauron e seus asseclas, principalmente devido a expor Gandalf a Saruman, ele pode ter sido também / principalmente designado para proteger a flora e fauna da Terra-média, uma tarefa que não terminaria com a derrota de Sauron e o fim da Guerra do Anel - e uma em que ele, sem dúvida, conseguiu.
Indeed, of all the Istari, one only remained faithful, and he was the last-comer. For Radagast, the
fourth, became enamoured of the many beasts and birds that dwelt in Middle-earth, and forsook Elves and
Men, and spent his days among the wild creatures. Thus he got his name (which is in the tongue of Numenor
of old, and signifies, it is said, "tender of beasts").
The essay on the Istari just cited thus tells much about them and their origin that does not appear in The
Lord of the Rings (and also contains some incidental remarks of great interest about Valar, their continuing
concern for Middle-Earth, and their recognition of ancient error, which cannot be discussed here). Most notable
are the description of the Istari as "members of their own high order" (the order of Valar), and the statements
about their physical embodiment.

But also to be remarked are the coming of the Istari to Middle-earth at
different times; Círdan's perception that Gandalf was the greatest of them; Saruman's knowledge that Gandalf
Ring, and his jealousy; the view taken of Radagast, that he did not remain faithful to his mission; the two other
"Blue Wizards," unnamed, who passed with Saruman into the East, but unlike him never returned into the
Westlands; the number of the order of the Istari (said here to be unknown, though "the chiefs" of those that
came to the North of Middle-earth were five); the explanation of the names Gandalf and Radagast; and the
Sindarin word ithron, plural ithryn.
The note ends with the statement that Curumo [Saruman] took Aiwendil [Radagast] because Yavanna
begged him, and that Alatar took Pallando as a friend.
There is no hint of an explanation of why
Yavanna's evident desire that the Istari should include in their number one with particular love of the things of
her making could only be achieved by imposing Radagast's company on Saruman; while the suggestion in the
essay on the Istari (p.407) that in becoming enamoured of the wild creatures of Middle-earth Radagast neglected
the purpose for which he was sent if perhaps not perfectly in accord with the idea of his being specially chosen
by Yavanna. Moreover both in the essay on the Istari and in Of the Rings of Power Saruman came first and he
came alone. On the other hand it is possible to see a hint of the story of Radagast's unwelcome company in
Saruman's extreme scorn for him, as related by Gandalf to the Council of Elrond:
"Radagast the Brown!' laughed Saruman, and he no longer concealed his scorn. 'Radagast the Birdtamer! Radagast the Simple! Radagast the Fool! Yet he had just the wit to play the part that I set him.'"
Whereas in the essay on the Istari it is said that the two who passed into the East had no names save
Ithryn Luin "the Blue Wizards" (meaning of course that they had no names in the West of Middle-earth), here
they are named, as Alatar and Pallando, and are associated with Oromë, though no hint is given of the reason for
this relationship. It might be (though this is the merest guess) that Oromë of all Valar had the greatest knowledge
of the further parts of Middle-earth, and that the Blue Wizards were destined to journey in those regions and to
remain there.

Como tal, podemos seguramente assumir que ele ficou em mim nas eras para cumprir o desejo de Yavanna para que ele vigiasse criaturas de ME - veja Radegast ; Parece que o velho Raddy ainda estava por perto há não muito tempo riso .
