Yeah I herd of them but don't know much about Mystra's chosen. I know a bit about the TOT cause I played the Baldurs Gate Series and I know about all the Gods etc but not much about people like, Manshoon, Szzas Tam, Piergeiron, Khelben, The Simbul etc.

Szzas Tam is a really powerful wizard. Piergeiron is a Lord of Waterdeep, a fighter-type I think. The Simbul is a Chosen of Mystra, and a very powerful sorceror. Khelben 'Blackstaff' Arunsen is another Lord of Waterdeep, and yet another extremely powerful mage. That's about the extent of my limited knowledge

Szass Tam is a Zulkir of Necromancy, meaning he is the head wizard of his school in Thay : a powerful magic using nation. He also turned himself into a lich to prolong his life.

Manshoon is also a powerful wizard. Along with Fzoul Chembryl, a powerful cleric formerly of Bane and Cyric but now of Iyatchu Xvim, they lead the Zhentarim : a powerful criminal network that wants to rule the realms.

An additional question: Have Manshoon or Fzoul ever featured in a novel?

Yes, IIRC they were in the prelude to the Time of Troubles trilogy (shadow lords or some such). Basically involving the power struggle between the two and a group of beholders and also in the two Spellfire books. Szass Tam also had almost his own book (one of the harper series)

But IMO Manshoon and Szass Tam are the best villians, and they should have more books about them.

Speaking of harpers, They do exist in the BG realms, but what of the Shadow thieves, cowled wizards, Knights of the Radiant heart etc. Are they around too?

I wouldn't put Drizzt in the same league, with Eleminster and Mystras chosen.

Umm...craig, I think he meant that Drizzt is no way near as powerful as a chosen of Mystra, rather than the other way around.
