Elminster Aumar

Warden of Waterdeep (a.k.a. The Old Mage, Sage of Shadowdale, Great Oversorcerer, Stinkbeard, Old Sage, Doombringer of Mystra, El'Minster)

"Adventurer, I am Elminster, and I say to ye that these forgotten realms are yours to discover, reforge, and defend, yours to make anew in winning your own crown. Go forth and take up arms against the perils that beset us!" -Elminster
"Sage of Shadowdale" and the "Old Mage", was one of the most famous and powerful wizards in all of Faerûn, as well as a fair fighter and thief.
As a high-level wizard, Elminster was capable of taking on almost any appearance imaginable.
In his natural state, Elminster appeared as a gray-bearded man of weathered visage, gruff tone, alert eyes, and nondescript attire. He was almost always smoking a meerschaum pipe that was spouting some vile blue or green smoke.
Elminster's most distinguishing physical feature was his hawk-like nose.
A natural storyteller, Elminster was normally a witty, clever, and very charming man. He was a consummate actor, however, and could be imperious, grave, and terrible as the situation demanded. He rarely revealed the full extent of his true nature to anyone who was not an extremely close friend. He could portray himself as a trickster, a rake, a stern father figure, or any other stereotype he wanted to assume, depending on what he wanted to accomplish or what reaction he wanted to elicit from those around him.
Elminster snored loudly while sleeping, although he muted this magically if it would disturb friends. It should be noted that as one of Mystra's Chosen, Elminster did not need to sleep.
