Context:

Saif al-Arab, not to be confused with his higher-profile elder brother Saif al-Islam, had yet to complete his studies in Germany. He had kept a lower profile than most of his brothers but was briefly in the spotlight in 1996 when he brawled with a nightclub bouncer in Munich.

@oristarA,
Geeze, grumpy much, DP?

It could mean was more in the news, stood out more in the public's eye, was known to more people because of his activities or more active nature. Someone who keeps a low profile doesn't do things that attract attention.
