Edwin ran off

So for where I am in the game, I'm in TOB, chapter 9, finishing up some NPC quests, specifically Neera's. My party consist(ed) of my PC, Minsc, Jaheira, Nalia, Edwin and Imoen. So to do Neera's quest I naturally sent Edwin away as a temporary thing because he hates her guts. I was in the hellish pocket plane when I dismissed him, he had no harsh words to say, in fact his response was exactly that as before (when I dismissed for Dorn's quest and to bring all the NPCs from SOA into my plane via those statues). However those times I could simply walk over to him and grab him back. My reputation has been at 17 for a while, and though he moans, this clearly hasn't presented a massive problem before.

I have searched the pocket plane all over (so the central bit and the only 2 other areas currently accessible, the 1st/2nd challenges) and revisited a few areas that he had been in recently (Amkethran, Watcher's Keep) to no avail. He SHOULD be slightly to the right of the pocket plane, just inside the fog of war as per usual.

I have managed to conjure him up via the console and he greets me as if it were my first time recruiting him., and his stats/spells/equipment match it. Obviously this is undesirable. I suppose I could just spawn him back, give him XP and spawn the items but the spells are seemingly gone forever. That being practically any spell worth anything I have bought and/or stolen and then used or sold off.

Basically, what the hell? I can't seem to find much about this online. Plenty of complaints about bugs (actually mostly with Neera funnily enough, but also the other 3 EE NPCs) but nothing like this. It's fairly depressing to have got so far with him to just be gone. I did want to use Sarevok but not like this.

Late edit: apparently Minsc and Edwin will fight and Edwin will more than likely lose. I read this before but it was for BG1 so thought nothing of it, but then again, I don't see how this could be the case as I stated before, I dismissed Edwin and he left just fine. I'd have noticed him and Minsc causing problems.

Update: I was doing Rasaad's quest and I am in the mines, just before Alorgoth and I attempted to rest. It was interrupted by an Umber Hulk, but I noticed in my chat window "Edwin: protected from evil". Now, before he went AWOL, he was wielding the Staff of the Magi which was causing that to appear previously.
