I swear I've seen this guy in an old portrait pack for NWN.. Holding a mouse close to his face.

I take it you're referring to Boo, the miniature giant space hamster?

It’s Minsc & Boo, originally from the Baldur’s Gate games. He’s a ~~barbarian~~ Ranger with a space hamster, he’s apparently a bit crazy.

That's right, I forgot about that. He just always struck me as a barbarian for some reason, though I guess the animal companion is more a Ranger thing.

In BG 1 and 2, he actually has a rage ability similar to barbarians. I usually respec him as a barb in those games.

If I remember correctly, he actually got barbarian levels after something traumatic happened to him right after BG2.

It's the "two remaining brain cells working overtime" that does it ;)

Definitely has the right attitude for it!

That's him, all right!
