Lotta funny people in the Realms, but my vote goes to Jan Jansen from Baldur's Gate II.
This is followed closely by Tiax from Baldur's Gate 1, and Danilo Thann. I juss finished reading Elfshadow over the weekend. Danilo is hilarious. |

| Torm and Rathan were the first to come to mind. I love the banter of the Knights of Myth Drannor. It was one of the first things that drew me to the Realms after reading Spellfire. Danillo would also be up there on my list. |

Example Jan quote:
"... You'll go far, you know. Farther, maybe, than cousin Bifflechips... although he was flung by a catapult, so I suppose it doesn't really count."
After he's raised:
"Greetings, everyone. Sorry, no gifts or souvenirs this time but I'll keep you all in mind the next time I'm gone. Oh, Keldorn: the gods say 'hi' and that you should wash your underwear more thoroughly. Everyone ready? Let's go adventuring."

| It looks like most votes went to Danilo. I got curious with this elf. I haven't read any books that feature him. Did he appear in non-elfy novels? By non-elfy, I mean the books have far more human characters than elves, or no elves at all. |

| Dennis, Danilo is not an elf at all- he's human, and is somehow related to Khelban. (Don't ask me how- it has to do with Danilo's mother's family.) He DOES, however, have some elven blood- through Khelban himself, apparently. And he married Arilyn Moonblade, a half-elf of granddaughter of Queen Amlaruil. But he was in the Songs and Swords books by Elaine. A very funny bard! |

Speaking of Karsus, I suddenly remember that scene in Dangerous Games where he stood like an idiot with the lower part of his robes torn, exposing his butt! |

| @ dennis: He's made appearances in a couple of other books and short stories. He was briefly in Daughter of hte Drow, also by Elaine- I seem to recall that he approached Liriel Baenre when she and Fyodor were in Waterdeep during some sort of festival, walking around in costumes. Her "costume" was nothing more than a long white gown, and everyone thought her being a drow was just the disguise. Danilo saw right through it though, and sursrised her by speaking to her in drowish,- even making a couple of jokes. ("When Lolth giggles", LOL!! I still chuckle at that line...) |

Now I remember. I read Daughter of the Drow long ago. And characters doing mere 'cameo roles' I often forget. Heh, even supporting characters I sometimes forget. How much more the nearly insignificant ones. |

That's why I added a modifier: nearly. |

The official story, to those in-game, is that Khelben is the younger brother of Danilo's mother Cassandra Thann.
And it's partially true. Khelben Arunsun is her younger brother. Khelben Ravencloak Arunsun, that is. Khelben "Ravencloak" Arunsun is the grandson of Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun. The Ravencloak is now hanging on Oerth, after allowing his grandfather to take his place. |

Interesting. Khelben should have learned from him. That is, tried to have a sense of humor. |

Indeed. I'm sure Steven Schend explains this somewhat in one of his replies here at Candlekeep. I'll check the archives.

It involves Khelben, too. And 'tis a known fact that if one seeks for answers about anything 'Khelbeny' or 'Khelbenish,' Schend's the right guy to ask. |

Sage Schend was talking about Khelben's relations, as I recall. I can't find the tidbit [from the REALMS-L] at the moment, because my archive is at home, and I'm at work, so...  |
