If I had to pick two from GH, it’s Mordenkainen and Vecna.People know the names, but how many of the famous Greyhawk wizards are well known as characters? Mordenkainen for sure, due to multiple 5e appearances, but any others?

Not that I know of.Ah, OK. Other than those classic 1e modules and the 2014 PHB cover, has he made any other appearances?
True, but I do know a lot of parties that talk about Leomund before getting their long rest every night!
Leomund must be all like, "C'mon. I did a lot of stuff. And this ... this is what you remember be for. I swear, the hut wasn't tiny. I was known for a big hut. That's the spell! Leo's Big Hut. Mordenkainen is SUCH A LIAR!"
Isn't he in the follow-up trilogy> (Legends? The time travel one.)I dunno. I'd say Dalamar is still pretty obscure. He's not in the Chronicles trilogy, for one thing.
That being said, he is in the 5e DragonLance adventure, so maybe that makes him a bit more iconic for the 5e era?

Yup. Legends. And he had his own novel, as well as a few appearances in others. Like I said, I largely remember him from Ed Greenwood's Dragon Magazine articles. Plus he had a mini (finally).Isn't he in the follow-up trilogy> (Legends? The time travel one.)
And he's in the Dragonlance Adventures hardback.
Ravenloft original. He actually shows up as a Mordentshire local in I10 The House on Gryphon Hill, then gets some judicious retconning when the Ravenloft campaign setting is created, and doesn't acquire his Oeridian background until the December 1992 release of RQ3 From the Shadows.Had Azalin appeared in Greyhawk before he appeared in Ravenloft stuff? I like Azalin, but I thought he was a Ravenloft original (simply having his story origins in Greyhawk).

I don't know much about Azalin. But I don't think he's really a GH character - I've read and played a lot of GH, and Azalin hasn't turned up. I've only ever heard of him in the context of Ravenloft.I10 is "Ravenloft II: The House on Gryphon Hill"... so isn't that still Ravenloft, not Greyhawk? Again, I like him, I'd just say he's a Ravenloft icon if anything.
Denigrate away! I agree with you remarks about his relative unimportance despite being a cover personality.Sorry, don't mean to denigrate Snurre!
