I compiled a list of these a while ago (well, for BG1 and BG2), and this seemed the ideal place to post it. I'm sure there may be quite a few I've missed, especially if they crop up in novels but not any source books.

BTW I'm almost positive Saemon Havarian crops up in pnp somewhere, but I've been unable to track down exactly where.

BG1:

- Alatos 'Ravenscar' Thuibuld (guildmaster of the Baldur's Gate Thieves Guild)
- Aldeth Sashenstar (resident of Baldur's Gate; co-owner of the Merchant's League)
- Alyth Elendara (proprietor of the Elfsong Tavern)
- Belt (Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate)
- Bentley and Gellana Mirrorshade (proprietors of the Friendly Arm Inn; former adventurers; Gellana is priestess of Garl Glittergold)
- Berrun Ghastkill (Mayor of Nashkell; brother of the head of the Ghastkill family, Evan Ghastkill; former adventurer)
- Brielbara (minor mage)
- Cadderly (priest and Chosen of Deneir)
- Chanthalas Ulbright (high priest of Tymora in Baldur's Gate)
- Dabron Sashenstar (either the son or nephew of Aldeth, depending on which sourcebook you believe... though in BG1, they're brothers)
- Drizzt Do'Urden (renegade drow ranger)
- Elminster Aumar (sage and Chosen of Mystra)
- Eltan (Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate)
- Entar Silvershield (Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate)
- Halbrazzer Drin (Owner and Proprietor of Sorcerous Sundries)
- Haspur (seer in Baldur's Gate)
- Ithtyl Calantrin (resident of Baldur's Gate; serving wench in the Three Old Kegs)
- Irlentree (resident of Baldur's Gate; co-owner of the Merchant's League)
- Jalantha Mistmyr (high priestess of Umberlee in Baldur's Gate)
- Jhasso (founding partner of the Seven Suns)
- Kelddath Ormlyr (governor of Beregost; high priest of Lathander)
- Kestor (member of the Merchants' League; senior Knight of the Shield)
- Krammoch Arkhstaff (resident of Baldur's Gate, only mentioned in BG1)
- Liia Jannath (Grand Duchess of Baldur's Gate)
- Nantrin Bellowglyn (proprietor of the Three Old Kegs)
- Ragefast (resident of Baldur's Gate; mage and expert on history & genealogy)

And Volo himself?

Good point! Edited .

[Galactygon]

Can you tell me more about Zallanora? I am curious.

[Andyr]

Wasn't the Rune guy Shandalar, not Shangalar? Or the other way round...

[Grim Squeaker]

The rune guy is called Shangalar

[Andyr]

I meant, in pnp.

[NiGHTMARE]

The Twisted Rune guy is Shangalar in pnp. Shandalar is a wizard who lives in Ulgoth's Beard, in both pnp and TotSC.

It would really suck if anyone who appeared in a P&P book was inviolate. "No, you can't kill him, he has a writeup."

PNP RPG's like Warhammer i have heard does like that, all games that get sendt in to the developers take it into accoutn and deem what happens the next years releases.

D&D/AD&D FR is more based on the books/novels really, its a different solution but works nevertheless. if they started with responding to all games and implement that into the world now i think it would be one gigantic massacre of the entire Forgotten Realms campaignsetting. (Consider how many have killed Drizzt in the games), And just imagine what would be left of the entire swordcoast/west'ern side of FR after all the IE games and NWN have ravaged pretty much entire place

- Cadderly (priest and Chosen of Deneir)

Where can Cadderly be found in BG1 ? I don't remember him.

Edit : my post nr. 800, hehe

[The Amazing Maurice]

@ Candlekeep IIRC, when you return.

[Ismail]

What about the named people in Five Flagons, Copper Coronet and other locations that are there, are named&classed, but don't have anything reasonable to say or do?
