Baldur's Gate 3 sees the return of several popular characters from earlier games, including companions Minsc and Jaheira and antagonists Sarevok Anchev and Viconia deVir. However, many of the previous games' dozens of playable characters do not return. Although nothing has been confirmed in most cases, several could be alive in Baldur's Gate 3 due to naturally long lifespans, magic, or other reasons.
