Lyxen
Great Old One
He uses a sword a lot more than he uses magic!
Only in the movies. He hardly uses a sword in the books, and honestly, despite the huge qualities of the movies, I always found him whirling around with a sword totally ridiculous.
Also wizards lie! Plus he’s like an angel or something.
That might be his race rather than his class. Although, of course, he is a NPC and not bound by such considerations.
He's a wizard in Middle Earth terms, but in D&D his ability is more Sorcerer like.
I'm not sure why, honestly, remember that in 5e a wizard only needs to study a book when he needs to change spells.
His sword ability comes from his being a Maia, but is magical ability doesn't.
In the books he hardly uses a sword, and in the movies, the fact that he is a Maia is never put forward, IIRC, so why would his ability to use a sword be linked to that ? It might be a racial proficiency in terms of 5e, but it could be anything, a background, etc. For example even in the movies, you don't see Saruman or Radagast use a sword.
He was a Maia and also of the Istari or order of wizards.
I agree, but so where the 5 Istari, by definition.
