Astarion is an demon, an incubus who feeds on life essence. He doesn't exactly enjoy being an incubus, but he does what he needs to do to survive and try to have fun along the way. Astarion is eloquent and charming, typically valuing showmanship and finesse over strict rigor. His wry, cheeky wit makes banter appear effortless. Still, he is well accustomed to violence and cruelty, often using his alluring charisma to manipulate and deceive.
