Trivia
- Elvis was created in 1999 and debuted around March 12th.[2]
- He also has an ACF file that was meant to be used for a page named "Elvis - Lonesome"[3][4]
- According to Dave Higham from an old post on the now-defunct microsoft.public.msagent group on Google Groups, when he was making the character, he managed to synchronize the palettes by using Paintshop Pro. He also saved the palette of the main picture, then loaded the palette into each of the mouth overlays all in Paintshop Pro, then soon re-built the character.[5]
- Though it has not been confirmed yet, it is possible that Elvis was the first Microsoft Agent character developed by Dave Higham.
- As with most classical Microsoft Agents, he has his own color table to utilize multiple unique colors to make the character seem higher quality.
