Minsc
Minsc is a larger-than-life ranger from the rugged land of Rashemen, a warrior whose mighty heart and mighty sword are matched only by the peculiar brilliance of his battle-cries and the enduring companionship of his miniature giant space hamster, Boo. Driven by an unshakable sense of justice, an irrepressible personality, and a tendency to see the world in clear-cut terms of good versus evil, Minsc is both a fearsome warrior and a beloved, if eccentric, hero.
A fearless and lovable Rashemi ranger with a battle-hamster on his shoulder and justice in his heart, Minsc is a whirlwind of heroic fury, unshakable loyalty, and unforgettable charm.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Born and trained among the fierce berserkers and spirit-guided folk of Rashemen, Minsc was chosen to undergo a dajemma—a warrior’s spiritual journey—in service to a young witch. Though his original quest took him far from his homeland, fate had other plans. Minsc’s loyalty, strength, and irrepressible sense of righteousness soon led him into a life of high adventure across Faerûn and beyond.
Minsc is a whirlwind of chaotic energy, righteous anger, and pure-hearted enthusiasm. In battle, he is a roaring juggernaut, often charging into danger with cries like “Evil, meet my sword! Sword, meet evil!” or “Go for the eyes, Boo!” To those unfamiliar with him, Minsc may appear mad—but those who travel at his side know that beneath his wild demeanor is a soul of unwavering loyalty and surprisingly profound insight.
Whether his eccentricities are the result of head trauma, divine inspiration, or a unique spiritual clarity, Minsc seems untouched by fear or hesitation. He believes utterly in good over evil, in protecting the innocent, and in avenging wrongs. His moral compass is as loud and unstoppable as his battle charge.
Minsc is a folk hero to many across the Realms—remembered not only for his deeds, but for the joy and chaos he brings in doing them. He stands for the helpless, faces down evil with fearless delight, and treats his friends as sacred. Despite his eccentricity—or perhaps because of it—he is a legend whose fame endures through song, tale, and the grateful memories of those he’s saved.

Hobbies & Pets
Minsc’s ever-present companion, Boo, is no ordinary pet. A tiny, fuzzy creature Minsc claims is a “miniature giant space hamster,” Boo rides in a pouch on Minsc’s shoulder and is treated as a sage advisor, fierce warrior, and beloved friend. Minsc often consults Boo before making decisions, and he is quick to anger if Boo is insulted or endangered.
Whether Boo is truly a creature of cosmic origins or merely a normal hamster is a subject of long debate—but to Minsc, there is no doubt. Boo is his guide, his equal, and his symbol of all that is good in the world.
