Set approximately a hundred years after the events of the first Baldur's Gate games, Baldur's Gate 3 sees only a small handful of characters return. Among them is Minsc, also known as the Mad Rashemeni, a ranger who - along with his miniature giant space hamster, Boo - served as a party member in both original games. As many Baldur's Gate 3 players are meeting Minsc for the first time, they might not know that his journey to the Sword Coast was originally to protect Dynaheir, a powerful witch who met a tragic fate.
