Naturally he's active in the fiction he's in (most of which, once more, wouldn't exist if TSR hadn't wanted him to write it). I can't think of any of it where he steals limelight from a PC-like adventuring band. In the more than 100 Realms game adventures, Elminster does something significant in about 3 of them, and in most he isn't mentioned.Like with the nudity, you evidently got the impression you got. But the weight of Realmslore doesn't remotely support it.</blockquote>
