Is this based off of the theatrical versions of the LOTR films? In the books, Saruman never intended to work with Sauron, but to take the ring for himself. He was used as a puppet of Sauron, anyway. He was also stabbed by Grima Wormtounge at the end of The Scouring of the Shire. Even in the extended versions of ROTK, Saruman is stabbed by Grima, but instead at Orthanc. Even so, in the books Mouth of Sauron spoke of a new lord of Isengard, most likely referring to himself.
