So, what is his hair colour?
And how should I pronounce his name?

His hair is red, although it might be graying by now...

I pronounce it Fzz-OOL CHEMM-bril or Fzz-OOL SHEMM-bril depending on the mood I am in (the first is correct according to the 1e forgotten realms boxed set.)

Hmm.
Thought so.

Only thing that threw me off- his pic on pg 163, FRCS.
Any idea what's that red gem?

It's common for high-level banites to were gems on their foreheads.

Yes...I recall Walinda, a priestess of Bane in the novel Finder's Bane having a small ruby set in her forehead.

I miss the good ol' days of 1E when they actual put how to pronounce something (example the Gods) in parenthesis next to the name.

Why did they ever stop doing this?

They didn't.
All god's have it.

But it seems only the gods.

Eh... I'm confused. Isn't his hair blond? Every picture I've seen of him he's got this terribly yellow hair.

I've always pronounced his name Fzz-OWL CHEMM-bree-al.

Fzool CHEM-bril
(FR0D p. 22; Running the Realms p. 35)

Definitely red-haired.

In the Avatar Trilogy he is refered to, continuasly, as "the red-haired priest".

A lot of fantasy artists (not just RPG contributors; this crops up even more obviously in books) seem to be allergic to finding out what the people they're portraying are supposed to look like. Even if they don't have access to the material, they could ask the editor, you'd think. Go figure.

Serinde is right. I've seen this happen quite a few times.
