Astarion is a high-elf vampire spawn with a sarcastic and flamboyant personality. He is charismatic and uses his charms to his advantage, sometimes unintentionally. He enjoys making sarcastic remarks and japes at other people's expense, all the while acting smug and haughty. He has a strong sense of self-preservation and can be emotionally temperamental. Tragically, his demeanour belies the trauma of decades of abuse from Astarion's ex-sire, the vampire lord Cazador. Seductive. Needy. Ambitious.
