Gandalf is a Maia, a minor god or angel. In the Third Age, he and a few others like him were sent on a mission to help the peoples of Middle-earth against Sauron. Naturally incorporeal and able to take any shape, they have been given the shape of old men for this mission. These body limited them, both by being physically old men, but they also could not use their full power or knowledge. In Middle-earth this group is known as the Istari, and mortals have called them "wizards".
When he was killed by the Balrog his freed spirit left the physical world, but was sent back by Eru (God). He awoke again where he had been killed, but now again had access to more of his power and memory than before when he had been Gandalf the Grey. The changed colour in his title refers to that change, but also in his taking over of Saruman's position. ---- Gandalf (the gray) is pulled into the dark pit in Moria by the Balrog. There he battles with the Balrog until he defeats him, but it almost kills him. Gandalf lies there for what he recalls as feeling like centuries, near death. He is sent back from death because he has not completed his job, which is helping Frodo and the good peoples of Middle Earth to defeat Sauron. He is forced to return to life as Gandalf the White, similar but not exactly the same as he was before he fell.

What does Gandalf say before he falls?
In the Return of the King film (2003) End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain curtain of this world rolls back and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it. Pippin: What, Gandalf? See what? Gandalf: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise. The grey curtain and silver glass bit is taken from the very last page of The Return of the King book when Frodo actually sees his unremembered dream come true from The Fellowship of the Ring book, while Frodo and the hobbits are staying at Tom Bombadil's house.
How would you describe Gandalf?
Gandalf the Grey is one of 5 Maia Spirit Wizards that came into being somewhere during the Ages of the Stars in Middle earth. Maia's are powerful beings that were created by the Valar (Gods) as helpers of sorts. Maia generally take on characteristics of their masters, which is why other Maia spirits like balrogs, vampires, and watchers; created by the Valar God Morgoth, are evil in nature. Gandalf was ever the traveller of the 5 wizards. He learned from nature and befriended nearly all races of Middle Earth. He was strongly in touch with nature, and often times aided the nature clans of Middle Earth such as the Air spirits; The eagles, and the earth spirits; The ents and huorns. Like all Maia spirits, Gandalf can not die by the passage of time, only by being killed by a force greater than his own. After years of studying the world and travelling afar, Gandalf was approached by Cirdan the shipwright, one of the 3 elves to receive a ring of power., the other 2 being Elrond (Ring of healing) and Galadrial (Ring of Light). Cirdan possessed the ring of fire. Cirdan saw in his wisdom that Gandalf was destined to do great acts of good, and that he was far wiser being that of his wizard order, even moreso than the "book smart" Saruman the white. Upon consulting with Gandalf, Cirdan realized that Gandalf would do greater good with the ring of fire than he would, and gave it to him. This fire ring was legendary I believe either the ring itself, or the fire it produced was known as Arnor, which is why during the battle with the Balrog of Moria, gandalf proclaims himself as a servant of the flame of arnor. This account skips quite a bit of time in which not much of note happens, but nearing the ages of the Sun,great events began to unfold that Gandalf was destined to be a part in. He guided Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit from the shire, through a quest to the far reaches of the eastern mountains of middle earth to combat trolls, goblins, twisted beings of mordor, and even a Dragon. Gandalf then guided Frodo baggins as part of the fellowship of the ring through a quest to mordor to destroy the one ring, and defeat Sauron (Formely a balrog of Morgoth, turned human-like by Morgoth himself as a tool to try and eradicate mankind). During this time, the corruption by the dark lord that Saruman the White experienced is brought forth by the conflict between he and Gandalf. This marked a huge shift of power between evil and good, a balance that nature intends to keep just that; balanced. In the conflict between Gandalf and the Balrog of Moria in the fellowship of the ring, neither gandalf or the balrog was meant to come out alive of this conflict, thus one creature of great good, and one of evil leaving the world, and still maintaining the balance, but due to the shift in power towards evil, Gandalf was brought back to equalize this balance once more. Saruman the white was destined to pick up guiding the fellowship after gandalfs death, but as he was corrupted, gandalf returns to middle earth in "The Two Towers" to Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli in the forest of the ents as Gandalf the White. He then picks up where Saruman SHOULD have, and sees the quest of the destruction of Sauron through to the end. After the defeat of Sauron, the balance is once again shifted, as nearly all evil from the world has been vanquished, so must a great amount of good pass from the world to maintain the ever fragile balance of life. To make up for the loss of evil, nearly all the elves of middle earth have passed through the great harbour (The grey havens) and taken boats to the Undying lands ("Heaven" more-or-less), where the Valar, maia, and the Omnipotent Illuvatar live. However, even this is not enough, Gandalf himself must board the last of the boats along with Elrond, Galadrial, Bilbo and Frodo, and pass to the undying lands. This ends the life of Gandalf the grey/white.
