Once revealed:

An old man grows in stature right in front of your eyes.
An old man says 'Welcome to my lands.'
An old man says 'For I am Saruman the White, the leader of the White Council'
Saruman says 'of which Cirdan, whom you have surely met, is but a member.'
Saruman says 'Since you have the favour of the Lords in Valinor,'
Saruman says 'whence I myself came once, a very long time ago,'
Saruman says 'I would like to ask of you a favour.'
Saruman says 'Would you like to know more?'
You find yourself agreeing with Saruman, for his words seem wise.
Saruman says 'A mighty and powerful enemy has stirred again.'
Saruman says 'The Dark Lord has moved back into his stronghold at Barad-dur'
Saruman says 'and the forges of Orodruin are busy again.'
Saruman says 'To keep him in check we have to keep up with his advances.'
Saruman says 'Many are the secrets'
Saruman paces about, back and forth.
Saruman says 'scattered around the world of objects of Power,'
Saruman says 'and to prevent this latest threat we must harness'
Saruman says 'such secrets and craft such objects as to counter'
Saruman says 'the Dark Lord's spreading influence.'
Saruman sighs loudly.
Saruman says 'When you see such things, you will know them,'
Saruman says 'but there are a few items we, at the White Council, have been searching for.'
Saruman says 'My friend the Sage at Isengard has spent most of his life'
Saruman says 'on the quest for the for the lost Palantiri,'
Saruman says 'and for the book of lost lore of Ost-in-Edhil,'
Saruman says 'that Elrond perhaps mentioned to you, in passing.'
Saruman says 'We are also searching for such Rings and other items as possess'
Saruman says 'the powers beyond that of the material they are forged from.'
Saruman says 'Any you might find will be gratefully accepted.'
Saruman says 'Weapons, armour, and other powerful artifacts as you can find.'
Saruman says 'Bring them to me, and you shall have a reward,'
Saruman says 'and the knowledge that you helped secure our common cause.'
Saruman wraps himself in his cloak again.
An old man says 'Farewell, my friends.'

His face is long, with a high forehead. He has deep darkling eyes, hard
to fathom, though they bear a grave and benevolent look. His hair and beard
are white, strands of black still showing about his lips and ears. He looks
weary, glancing from under his hat at everything around him a little askance.
An old man is in an excellent condition.
An old man is using:
<wielded>            an engraved silvery knife (worn); it glows blue
<worn on head>       a grey wool hat (flawless)
<worn on body>       a white shirt (satisfactory)
<worn about body>    a fine white cloak (satisfactory); it glows blue
<worn on arms>       a white pair of sleeves (worn)
<worn on legs>       a white pair of pants (worn)
<worn on feet>       a pair of soft leather boots (satisfactory)
<worn on wrist>      a keyring with a key
<worn on finger>     a white ring; it glows blue
<worn on finger>     a ring; it glows blue
<worn as belt>       a plain leather belt
<worn on belt>       a belt pouch

If you have a focus and follow him he will reveal himself (eventually when he camps) if you have no focus he will not speak. He wants powerring, books, scrolls. Basically any power item.
