Astarion is a vampire spawn, and has been one for the past 200 years - up until recently, he was a slave to a sadistic vampire lord. Now that he's free, he's hellbent on enjoying his renewed life as much as possible. A bit mercurial and sarcastic, Astarion can be a difficult person to get along with at times. However, he’s not entirely a bad person - if you’re persistent and trustworthy enough, his mask will start to slip as he reveals more information about himself, his story, and his emotions.
