In the mod all players are treated as Men (humans), and are supposed to start with neutral alignment with all factions. That's the default way to play the mod, so the Grey Wanderer spawning in for every player makes sense.

Saruman should not be an alternative for evil players even if in regular gameplay you could choose to be good or evil before you start playing. Saruman is a proud and aloof Wizard who does not look for people to share in adventures and does not personally talk to nobodies. He isn't concerned with the little people as Gandalf is.

That said, I do think it should be an option to decline the Grey Wanderer's mini-quest and not have him follow you around as he currently does, or be able to disable him entirely. He should also be hostile to players with negative alignment with good factions as well as the NPCs of evil factions.
