Origins
Like some adventuring parties, the heroes of Baldur's Gate first came together by pure chance. Some time between the, and the , Delina came to the city of Baldur's Gate searching for her estranged brother Deniak. One night soon after, when the moon was full, she was set after by a pair of gargoyles who pursued through the Upper City. During the chase, a pair of helpful members of the Watch fell to the stone beasts.

Eventually Delina stumbled into famous statue known as the Beloved Ranger in the Wide. When casting at the gargoyles, one of her spells backfired, emitting a wild surge that struck the statue and "brought back" the personalities it depicted — Minsc and Boo. The ranger Minsc mistook Delina for one of his former traveling companions, Neera, with whom he traveled the century prior. The Rashemi berserker defeated the two elemental predators and ran off before they could be apprehended by other guards of Watch

During their escape, the pair rain into two thieves, Krydle and Shandie, who possessed no ill intent but rather offered their newfound "friends" some shelter within their hideout.
