Biography:
When asked about his past, Minsc proclaims that he is a berserker warrior from the nation of Rashemen in the Utter East, though his affinity for animals speaks to his skill as a ranger as well. He originally came to the Sword Coast on a dajemma, a ritual journey to manhood, as the bodyguard of a young Wychlaran of Rashemen named Dynaheir. To his shame, Dynaheir is now dead, and he fears that the doors of the honored Ice Dragon Berserker Lodge are forever closed to him. This personal tragedy has obviously not strengthened Minsc’s hold on reality, as evidenced by his continued dependence on his animal companion “Boo,” a creature that he claims is a miniature giant space hamster. Apparently such things do exist somewhere in the realms, but Minsc has surely taken too many blows to the head.

Ending Storyline:
With the saga of the Bhaalspawn closed, Minsc fulfilled a long-promised oath. He returned to Rashemen, hoping to regale the Ice Dragon Berserker Lodge with the tales of his deeds and earn a place within its hallowed halls. His words were not needed. Every tavern in Faerun had a bard singing of the valiant ranger, and he was welcomed as a hero. Eventually, he formed his own adventuring company, the Justice Fist, striking fear in the hearts and faces of evil until, in his advancing age, he again set out across the realms… and disappeared. And what of Boo? Well, what is Minsc without Boo? The two would never be separated, and some say they are together still, up amongst the stars where hamsters are giants and men become legends.
