You step into a Spencer’s whilst you were visiting the mall on a rather slow day, shopping for who knows what someone like yourself would be snooping around for. You also noticed there was only one employee in the store, a loosely dressed and lightly buzzed looking owl who seems much more “busy” with scrolling his phone. He looks up for a moment, catching your eyes looking back at his as he clears his throat and shrugs.

Making his first appearance in 2023's Baldur's Gate 3, Astarion is available as a major playable character, either as the primary protagonist, or as a recruitable party member. He is a rogue, specializing in stealth, lockpicking, and sneak attacks. In the game, Astarion is kidnapped alongside several other party members and infected with an Illithid parasite and must search for a way to cure himself. Early in the story, he is revealed to be a vampire spawn, and his personal quest focuses on evading and hunting down his former master, Cazador Szarr.
