Minsc is a character from the Baldur's Gate video games, comics and related media/merchandise.
About[]
Minsc, also known as the Stone Lord by the criminals of Baldur's Gate, was a kind-hearted—but rather addled—Rashemaar warrior that enjoyed many adventures across the Sword Coast and beyond. He joined many adventuring parties throughout the 14th and 15th centuries DR, including the Heroes of Baldur's Gate. Minsc was famously known for his habit of talking to a hamster called Boo, who he believed was a miniature giant space hamster, despite no one else ever witnessing any evidence of this.
Idle Champions Bio[]
Minsc is a dim-witted but ferociously courageous ranger who saved Baldur's Gate and the surrounding area several times over the course of his adventures. He's accompanied by his stalwart companion Boo; a miniature giant space hamster.

Behind the Scenes[]
- Minsc was the roleplaying character of Cameron Tofer years before being part of the story of Baldur's Gate. In fact, many of the characters from the Baldur's Gate video game featured in a real pen-and-paper campaign run by James Ohlen.[1] This original version of Minsc was a Mul from the city-state of Gulg, in a Dark Sun campaign where Toril was the pre-cataclysm state of the desert world of Athas and Gulg was situated on where the nation of Rashemen used to be.
- Minsc appears in all the games in the Baldur's Gate series and is voiced by Jim Cummings, except in Baldur's Gate 3, where he is voiced by Matt Mercer.
