So, I've been considering rebuilding the Realms NPCs - and some templates - as Pathfinder NPCs. I've run into some roadblocks here and there, but so far, this is a tentative list of what I've come up with.
THE CHOSEN
The Simbul - Crossblooded Sorcerer 30, Eldritch Guardian Fighter 6; Archmage 10
Khelben - Wizard 27 with Staff Magus abilities replacing some bonus feats; Archmage 7
Elminster - Fighter 1, Rogue 2, Cleric 3, Wizard 19, Evangelist 10 of Mystra; Archmage 10
THE ZULKIRS
Szass Tam - Red Wizard (necromancy) 30; Archmage 10;
Druxus - Red Wizard (transmutation) 24; Archmage 7; unique school-based mythic powers
Aznar - Red Wizard (evocation) 23; Archmage 5; unique school-based mythic powers
THE BLACK NETWORK
Manshoon - Wizard 25; Archmage 5
Fzoul - Evangelist (cleric archetype) 10 of Bane, Exalted 9 of Bane
MEGA-MAGES
Shoon VII - awakened demilich Necromancer 36; Archmage 10
Larloch - mythic lich Wizard 46; Archmage 10; gets arcane resovoir and exploits as well.

| I've got Elminster and a few other statted up in Pathfinder with the Mythic rules and my homebrew conversion of FR material. The fun part about Mythic is that Elminster starts out with Heroic NPC stats (15,14,13,12,10, and 8) and I was able to get all the same stats and (similar) abilities from using the Mythic rules and he's a Fighter 1, Rogue 2, Cleric 3, Wizard 20 with 10 Mythic Ranks (Archmage path). No prestige classes needed. |
I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

| They seem to be a bit higher level in your version than in canon. What's the reason for that? |

| The only higher level ones are the Simbul and Szass; the Simbul has her 2e levels restored while Szass has a one level boost for an extra feat. |

| Must be that levels have changed since 2ed, which is what I'm looking at. Larloch was 41st level and the Simbul was 30th level in my books. |

--------------------
Ancient archmage, Chosen of Mystra, Sage of Shadowdale—Elminster is in many ways the symbol of Faerûn and the magic that suffuses the world. For years he has confounded the Zhentarim, the Red Wizards of Thay, and a hundred rival mages, but in his advanced age he now prefers to work through younger and more vigorous heroes rather than moving directly against his foes. He is prone to long reveries in which he sees again
people and places now long vanished.
During his thousand-year life span, Elminster has trained and reared a long succession of apprentices who all became superb spellcasters in their own right, helped found the Harpers, and raised several of the Seven Sisters. During the Time of Troubles, he saved Toril by holding Mystra’s power inside himself, surviving by his wits and the aid of the ranger Sharantyr rather than by his magic. He’s also a passable fighter and thief and a superb dancer.
Elminster is a consummate actor and delights in acts of whimsy, helping the needy and lovelorn, and dispensing poetic justice to those who deserve it. He has a heart of gold, a deep need to bring tyrannical, pompous, and cruel persons low, and a crotchety, “Don’t push me” manner. After knowing the love of the goddess Mystra, nothing awes him or leaves him much afraid.

--------------------
A Chosen of Mystra and a grim, inflexible proponent of law and order, Khelben Arunsun (called “the Blackstaff” for his magic staff and several spells that create stafflike effects) is the Lord Mage of Waterdeep and the husband of Laeral Silverhand of the Seven Sisters. Few know of Khelben’s youth in lost Myth Drannor, or are aware of his true age—but many have learned to fear him.
Khelben dresses in nondescript black robes and never appears in public without his black staff. He has a dignified, imposing manner. He prefers to intimidate or frighten people rather than revealing his dry sense of humor or his keen, playful intelligence and quick wits. More than one shrewd observer of humankind say they see an old, underlying guilt in the Blackstaff, one that eats away at him—but no one knows (or will say) what this may be.
In Khelben’s pursuit of law and order, he has founded or supported organizations (such as the Lords’ Alliance) and then abandoned them (the Harpers) when they no longer suited his purposes. He recently resigned from the Lords of Waterdeep and later broke with the Harpers over a disagreement about his methods. He formed his own group of likeminded ex-Harpers, known as the Moonstars.
Khelben acts as the gravely wise, stern tutor who manipulates agents and adventurers he meets by reluctantly dispensing information on a firm “only what you need to know” basis, never volunteering even paltry tidbits. In his words, “A secret isn’t a secret if you tell anyone.”
His beloved Laeral is probably the only person who is privy to Khelben’s plans. She is a match for him in both intellect and personal power, and their deep bond of true love has created one of the most formidable magical alliances in contemporary Faerûn.

--------------------
Alassra Silverhand, one of the Seven Sisters who are the Chosen of Mystra, is known to Faerûnians today only as the Simbul. She is the Queen of Aglarond (called by some “the Witch-Queen,” and many believe this latter term is part of her official title) and has legendary powers of sorcery and a temper to match.
She mastered metamagic long, long ago, and has single-handedly defeated attacking Thayan armies with titanic combinations of spells. King Azoun IV of Cormyr called the Simbul “a good friend, but a deadly enemy.” She is currently the lover of the famous (or if you prefer, infamous) wizard Elminster of Shadowdale. Thanks to his love, she has mitigated the worst of her dark berserker rages, which makes her even more formidable in battle—she’s still fearless, but no long heedless of the damage she causes. She still seems more driven to master magic than anyone else in Faerûn ... and seems quite likely to continue to do so.
The Simbul flits tirelessly around Toril and even other planes, never adhering to any routine, shapechanging at will (often wearing the form of a black raven). As herself, she’s heedless of personal appearance, and is usually barefoot or adventurer-booted, and clad only in a tattered black robe. Her hair is always a wild, tangled mess. Even in her realm of Aglarond, people fear her, avoid her, and think her insane. Red Wizards have been known to faint at the mere thought effacing her in battle. In this, if in nothing else, their judgment is wise.

Ashe, these are good, but the first thing that strikes me is that their ability scores are simply too low. Pathfinder's mythic NPCs blow them all out of the water. Old Mage Jatembe, for instance, has Str 14, Dex 16, Con 18, Int 41, Wis 24, Cha 22; after a +6 enhancement bonus to his ability scores and no inherent bonuses.
Also, Elminster is immune to time stop, which means that he's nerfed himself. Time stop only affects the caster.

Mythic NPCs are plot devices in my Realms, not monsters to kill and loot. Don;t reckon they need stats, myself.

That may well be, but I was building them up to how they were published in 3.5. The time stop, I admit, was an error on my part since temporal stasis in Pathfinder is L8 instead of L9, and I just flaked on it in my head.

Great work Ashe, but I don't think Elminter is Chondathan, as he was from Athalantar, which from what I know, were Talfiran, Low Netherese, Illuskan or a mix of the three(which could be represented as Tethyrian).
