==Backstory== | |||
{{hatnote|See {{FRWiki|Minsc}} for a more complete backstory}} | |||
Minsc is a Rashemi berserker from a matriarchal nation of Rashemen. As a youung man he went on a dajemma - a coming-of-age tradition for Rashemi men to travel the world accompanying his Wychlaran - a young witch Dynaheir. | |||
===The Iron Crisis=== | |||
In their travels they became separated and Dynaheir was snatched by gnolls. With the help of Gorion's Ward (the protagonist of the previous ''Baldur's Gate'' games) Minsc freed her and they traveled together, along with Imoen, [[Jaheira]] and Khalid. | |||
They resolved the Iron Crisis and defeated the culprit - [[Sarevok Anchev]]. | |||
===Shadows of Amn=== | |||
Sometime after Sarevok's defeat, the group parted ways for a while until they once again joined up alongside their friends: Gorion's Ward, Imoen, Jaheira and Khalid. At some point in their travels, captured in a forest by Shadow Thieves and imprisoned in a dungeon beneath the city of Athkatla in Amn. Minsc, Jaheira and Imoen survived, but Dynaheir and Khalid have already been killed. Their captor was Jon Irenicus - an elven wizard who wanted to steal the Bhaalspawn essense for himself. He eventually helped Gorion's Ward to defeat him. | |||
===Petrified for a century=== | |||

[[File:Awaken, my Minsc3.webm|gif|thumb|left|class=notpageimage|Awaken, my Minsc]]At some point in their travels Minsc and Boo were ambushed by someone unknown and petrified in the middle of marketplace in the [[Upper City]] of [[Baldur's Gate]]. For a long time baldurians believed it was a statue, commissioned by a merchant to commemorate the city's renown heroes. It became a popluar landmark under the title "Beloved Ranger". | |||
80 years later a wild mage Delina tried to defend herself against a gargoule and accidentally struck the statue with a [[Wild_Magic_(Subclass_Feature)|wild magic surge]]. The surge dispelled petrification and Minsc and Boo returned to life, unaware of the passing of time. They joined together and traveled for a while. | |||
Appoximately 10 years later Minsc reunited with Jaheira and together they worked to uncover the mysterious [[Cult of the Absolute]]. | |||
They were the first to uncover information about the threat of the Absolute. Due to Minsc's eagerness to fight he got captured by the cultists and Jaheira, realizing that they were severely unprepared and unarmed against the cult decided to leave him in order to share news about the cult. | |||
Captured by the cult, Minsc was infected with a [[tadpole]] and brainwashed into following a doppelganger imitating [['Jaheira']]. Under the tadpole's influence, he became a feared murderer under the monicker "Stone Lord". Minsc was also separated from Boo as the tadpole suppresed his memory of the hamster. Their latest crime is robbing the [[Counting House]]. | |||

He can be recruited later in the [[Lower City Sewers]] after a fight. The only way for Minsc to be recruited is to use non-lethal attacks on the final blow, otherwise Minsc ''will '''die''''', and Jaheira will leave the party. | |||
[[The Emperor]] will argue that the rashemi is too stupid to be of use but can be persuaded to extend the [[Mysterious Artefact]]'s mind shield to free Minsc from the [[Absolute]]'s influence. | |||

Minsc | Minsc is a skilled warrior but not particularly smart. He believes his friend [[Boo]] is actually a miniature giant space hamster and he is the only one who can talk to him. He views the world in absolutes - if there's evil then it should be defeated. | ||
He sees [[Jaheira]] as a dear friend, despite her constant nagging. He does not like [[Viconia]] and [[Sarevok]] for they are evil. | |||
