The White Council: Discussion and Feedback
Walküre:
With your consent, I would opt for Saruman being unaware of the identity of whom bears Narya. He surely knows the generalities of the Three Rings' properties, but he still doesn't have knowledge of the actual fate of these artefacts. If he can easily guess those who wield Nenya and Vilya, the individual-centred nature of the Ring of Fire certainly makes it more difficult to determine Narya's vicissitudes in the course of numerous centuries. I also think that this aspect of the narration might represent Gandalf's and Galadriel's distrust towards Saruman in better terms; specifically, they worry about his eager interest in the forgotten lore of the Rings of Power.

So be it. I've already started writing my piece with Saruman unaware, so I'm fine with keeping it this way.
Fine:
I wrote my text with that assumption in mind (Saruman not being aware of Narya's true wielder); I hope I did not misinterpret anything I said in Gandalf's report.
Walküre:
Just to hint at a possible aspect to develop, I remember reading that the White Council had been believing for long time that the dark presence in Dol Guldur might have been one of the Nazgûl, if not the very Witch-king, until the discovery of Gandalf. I guess it would be interesting if Saruman tried to advocate that thesis again, in order to dissuade the other attendees' propositions.
Not to mention that the involvement of the Witch-king in the debate could give Elrond a chance to reminisce his memories of the wars against Angmar. In this case, I suppose, someone more versed than me in the lore of Arnor might be happy to give insightful contributions :)
The_Necromancer0:
2 small things about the POV I just posted:
1. Sorry if the ending feels a bit cheap, I've run out of actual arguments.
2. I'm leaving it open ended, you can either assume Saruman is done talking or you can pick up from some point in his argument.
