Elrond says it's believed to be apocryphal. I suppose you mean the people tracking the Stranger. I don't know who they are, but they seemed sinister to me rather than angelic. When you say "the same as Gandalf", I suppose you're asking if they're wizards? I don't know if the show writers have decided to have wizards exist in their version of the Second Age. In Tolkien's legendarium, the Enemy cannot create but can only corrupt and pervert to his will that which is in the world. So the wargs in origin must have been derived from some naturally occurring species of wolves, perhaps dire wolves, but because they can talk, they must have been bred to be exceptionally intelligent or made to house some evil spirits. Perhaps they were sired by werewolves. In the legendarium, Elendil and Isildur do return to Middle-earth in three boats, but in that tale they are fleeing from the drowning of Númenor.</blockquote>
