Cosplayer Olga Haku never ceases to look into the universe of the role-playing game Baldur’s Gate 3. She has already managed to visit the image of a half-devil Mizora, a githyanki warrior Lae'zel and a half-elf Shadowheart.
Now it became known that during the photo shoot, which was conducted by photographer Kira Mitenkova, model Olga turned into Tav.
Tav is not a specific hero, but the default name for any custom character. When a gamer starts a new game and creates their unique character in the editor, they are assigned the name "Tav" until they enter another.
Over time, this name has become widely used by the gaming community as a general term for any user character, similar to how "Dovakin" is used in Skyrim or "V" in Cyberpunk 2077.
The name "Tav" is a reference to the internal code name of the game in Larian Studios — "Project Gustav", which, in turn, was given in honor of Sven Vinke’s dog, the head of the studio.
