Minsc BG2
Minsc Location
Minsc is a Baldur's Gate companion in BioWare's cRPG of 2000, Baldur's Gate 2. Minsc is found in the lower dungeon of the Chateau Irenicus prologue.
Minsc is the most famous companion in cRPG history. No companion in the genre comes close to his popularity and fame.
If removed from the party, Minsc can be found at the Copper Coronet in the Slums District of Athkatla.
Along with Imoen and Jaheira, Minsc is one of three Baldur's Gate canon party members that survived BG1. Dynaheir and Khalid did not make it.

Minsc 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 dejemma, a ritual journey to manhood, as the bodyguard of a young Wychalarn of Rasheman 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.
