Minsc () is a fictional character in the Baldur's Gate series of Dungeons & Dragons role-playing video games. He first appeared as a recruitable companion in BioWare's Baldur's Gate, and later appeared in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear, and Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3. He is accompanied by Boo, a hamster whom Minsc believes to be a "miniature giant space hamster". Jim Cummings voiced Minsc in the earlier games, while Matthew Mercer voiced him in Baldur's Gate 3. Minsc originated in a tabletop Dungeons & Dragons campaign run by Baldur's Gate lead designer James Ohlen. The character was conceived as an unstable but good-hearted ranger and was expanded for the video games by writer Lukas Kristjanson. He is characterized by an exaggerated devotion to heroism, frequent battle cries, great physical strength, emotional sincerity and apparent mental instability. Minsc became one of the most recognised characters associated with the original Baldur's Gate games. Contemporary publications described him as a favourite among players, while later commentators have called him one of BioWare's most beloved characters and the series' de facto mascot.
