The mage Elminster Aumar is one of the most famous characters in the Forgotten Realms Dungeons and Dragons setting. In Baldur's Gate 3, he shows up briefly as part of the wizard Gale's companion story, bringing Gale a message from the goddess Mystra. But before Baldur's Gate 3 and his mentorship of Gale, the mysterious and powerful wizard occasionally dropped by to provide hints and advice for Baldur's Gate 1 and 2's adventuring party.
