Got hit with more thoughts about spawns and Cazador...

...and naturally, I'm posting it here because I'm no longer a functional human being.

I remember the lingering question that Astarion seemingly being only one of the spawns using seduction to lure victims in. At least, there is no menition of other’s doing so, except for Petras. So, why is that? Why Astarion was the only one?

In my opinion, it stems from Cazador’s very particular choice of victims. In all these years, he acquired only seven spawns (except for the thousands of Turned nobody knew about), and almost all of them used to be accomplished or talented people:

- Violet, a beloved and talented songbird from Reithwin;

- Dalyria, a respected doctor working in the Parliament;

- Leon, a sorcerer (a spell modifiaction he came up with shows how good he is at his magic);

- Astarion, a magistrate with a promising future, centuries of life ahead of him, and a beauty worthy of a thousand paintings.

Following this tendency, we can assume that Yousen, Aurelia, and Petras also were similarly talented or good at something enough to attract Cazador’s attention and make him envious.

The bastard thinks very highly of himself. He calls himself the most intelligent and beautiful creature out there, and spends hours writing letters to other vampire lords, trying to convince them of his grandeur. He attempts to inflate his ego, making it finally big enough to overcompensate for his miserable inferiority complex, in any way he can: so, whenever he spies someone with a talent or potential, someone who might be better than him at anything, he snuffs them away, adds to his collection, and then breaks them over and over, making them believe that they’re nothing. He is the father who gives them purpose; they are his spawn who owe him everything; and everything they have belongs to him.

And maybe, aside from tortures, and humiliation, and gaslighting, and forcing “siblings” to hurt each other, he came up with one more way to break them - when he forces them to hunt, he forces them to use everything that made them special, loved, respected, and admired for the most gruesome things.

- Violet, previously a talented singer whose voice was fondly remembered up to Reithwin’s fall, using her voice to catch attention; using her image and charm to lure people into the palace to their death.

- Dalyria, picking her victims around apothecaries and temples that responded to the people's suffering by closing doors in their faces, seeking out refugees and ailing citizens low on coin, offering to help them, kindly inviting them to “her place” (if we take Karlach’s family as an example, finding a healer who would agree to help a less-than-wealthy family is quite a problem at the city).

- Leon, using his talents and magic to nab people from the street, to drag them to Cazador without a fight while knowing that he will never be able to use the same power against the bastard himself.

- Astarion, a previously sophisticated, proud, and beautiful elf, stripped of his dignity and pride, using his body to either seduce poor young and inexperienced souls (fulfilling their image of an ethereal and caring lover) or let himself be pawed at by drunkards and brothel-goers.

I don’t think any of Cazador’s choices were accidental. I don't think he had to roam the streets at night, looking for potential candidates; that he ever Turned any of them by chance.

They all caught his eye at some point, became an object of his obsession, and then fell victim to a scenario where they were confronted by a promise of salvation - and each time, it made Cazador giddy with excitement and a sense of self-importance. He took them away from the world because he could. He will twist and shape them to his whim because he can. And then, he will take everything from them, reducing them to miserable wretches because this is who they should be, compared to him.

They will belong under his heel, scared, helpless, and obedient, worshipping him and fearing him. Forever.

Omg I know we don’t like Astarion’s siblings very much except for maybe Dal because of how they treat him. But poor fucking Leon. To work so hard to protect his daughter from Cazador and the other spawn and to make sure he always got the favored spawn room so his daughter can have a safe place to stay all while trying desperately to find a way out if only for her. Only to finally be saved from Cazador, and she’s fucking dead.

This is something I've thought about off and on for a while now.

How do y'all think Astarion's spawn siblings would react upon finding out he actually has a real, genuine lover? I know we have very little to go off of, so answers are definitely going to vary, but I wanna hear 'em regardless.

Idk why but I feel like half would go, "Wait, he actually pulled a partner?? How?" bc they just know him as that smart-mouthed asshole they share a room with. They're just surprised that the guy they know to be a real jerk somehow got someone even when not hiding his true colors.

And the other half who know him better would be like, "Oh, that's great! I'm glad Astarion found someone."

Edit: Adding some more specifics.

I think Petras and Yousen would be in the 'WTF" camp. Petras bc it's clear he and Astarion don't get along and even Astarion says he could've been better to Petras. I imagine he all but screamed, "You managed to pull that?!" while pointing at Tav. Yousen bc he's a dwarf and we know how Astarion treats Dwarves. Edit Edit: I mixed up gnomes and dwarves. I still think he treated Yousen like shit bc he still reminded him of a gnome.

Dalyria and Aurelia I feel like would be happy for him. Dal bc she does seem to care for Astarion to some extent (and likely for her other spawn siblings, too). Aurelia I have little justification for other than I like to think of her as the oldest, so seeing him find someone even after all the pain and torture gives her hope for herself. She's also glad to see him happy bc she's likely witnesses some of his worst moments (while experiencing them herself, too).

Violet and Leon are the oddballs I'm unsure of. Violet gives me mischievous younger sibling vibes, tho, so perhaps she's happy but absolutely not above exaggerating her surprise to get under his skin. Leon I feel hasn't spent a lot of time with him or the other spawn, so maybe he's just kinda like "cool idc". It sounds like he only spent maybe a year in the spawn bunks before going back to the favored room. Or perhaps him only getting a brief taste led to him having a negative opinion bc he never got to know Astarion.

Anyway, those are my thoughts and reasons.

Ghosts in the Halls

by: Asidian

Fandom: Baldur's Gate 3

Pairing: Gen, Astarion & Victoria, Leon & Victoria

Warnings: unreliable narrator, dramatic irony, implied/referenced torture, outsider pov

Excerpt:

Some nights, while Father is out working, Victoria hears screams through the lovely wallpaper, somewhere deeper in the building. Sometimes it's a lady, but more often it's a man; he has a higher pitched sort of a scream, quite distinct indeed, and it goes on for hours on end.

"I think Lord Szarr has a poltergeist," Victoria tells Father one day, as he slips in around sunup.

"Oh?" says Father, and he sounds tired and a touch distracted. "What makes you say that?"

"Well," says Victoria. "They're meant to be loud, aren't they?"

"Yes," says Father, and he draws the word out, slow and a touch uncertain. "That's so. Has someone been talking to you?"

"Oh, no," says Victoria. "But there's always a man screaming. He's quite loud about it."

And Father looks at her for a long moment before he reaches out to set a hand on her head. It's not a hair ruffle, not quite – he just rests it there. "A poltergeist, surely," says Father. "Best try to ignore it, if you can."

kinda scary to wonder what happens to Leon post-Cazador

he worked so hard hunting people down for Cazador so he can keep his daughter, Victoria, safe (the best hunters get the nice, private bedroom away from the other vampires)

gonna take a wild guess victoria died pretty recently in relation to the ritual. as in, the ritual was fast approaching, so leon was trying to ready her escape with disguises, but dalyria bites her and killing her (triggering the necrotic curse)

anyway yeah. if leon lives after the ritual he'll have to be confronted with all the horrible things he had to do, and a dead daughter to show for it

Cazador's Spawn Headcanons - Pt. 4

Okay, let me talk about the relationship between Astarion and the last vampire spawn: Leon. Because with him I actually have a more complicated headcanon than with the other spawn. Because here is the thing...

So, remember that Astarion in the very early years of being a vampire saved a guy, and got shoved into a thomb for a whole year slowly going mad, right? So, that "sweet boy" he saved back then, he was also named "Léon".

And yes, Leon the vampire spawn is a descendent of the Léon Astarion saved - and Cazador specifically made him the last spawn to bring home a point towards Astarion, you know?

Of course Leon the vampire spawn does not know about it. He just knows that apparently Astarion does not like him and responds in kind. Especially as obviously he has also his own entire issue with trying to save his daughter - only to fail in the end.

Don't come at me, but I am confused why whenever there is a plot about one of Astarion's siblings going full villain, this sibling is almost always Petras. I agree; he is a jerk and a bully. But he is also the guy who gobbles up Cazador's bullshit about getting freedom with ZERO suspicions. Aurelia and Leon are hopeful, but it doesn't take them long to realize it is yet another way for Cazador to break them, and of course, he never intended to let them go.

Petras is oblivious to the point he is already making plans for the future and composing his menu. He is also the guy who flirts (badly) with the first person who approaches him without even considering the risk of the said person being a vampire hunter. Like, Tav can be wearing full plate armor and have a hugeass war hammer slung over their shoulder, and Petras would still go "Yes, this is the perfect naive victim to seduce. They will totally fall for my charms" with Dalyria cringing and trying to do damage control at the back.

Petras makes Astarion look like a criminal mastermind.

And no, I'm not saying that he can't be an antagonist to Astarion at all.

He can be dangerous by deciding to go his own way, gathering the group of spawn who share his views, and making a part of the Sword Coast his hunting grounds. But don't I see him plotting complicated schemes or even trying to recreate Cazador's rituals. He may try, but in my opinion, he will fail hilariously. No intervention needed.

Now, speaking of a more dangerous and tragic potential adversary, Leon is right here. He is a sorcerer. Moreover, if the nature of the spell he used to protect Victoria is anything to go by, he is experienced with Necromancy (I may be wrong; the blood thing could have belonged to the Transmutation school, though).

He is the top performer. And, he is a desperate father who did it all to keep his daughter safe. Now, I still assume that he managed to smuggle Victoria out of the palace -- which would keep him his calm and reasonable self. But if Victoria is really dead?...It would mean that everything he did, all these victims, all that suffering, all the measures he took, all the hurt he inflicted on his siblings/inmates - it all was for nothing. He was ready to die for Victoria to live. He was willing to sacrifice an orphan to save his girl. And he failed.

He failed her.

Wouldn't that push him over the edge? The desperation, the devastation, the horror? Wouldn't that create a void in his undead heart and put him into denial and resentment for his fellow spawns (he didn't know HOW she died, but he had seen enough hungry looks from Dal and Violet)?

Wouldn't he become obsessed with "fixing" it somehow because he already went so far to protect his daughter...why not go even further to bring her back, let her live the life that was so unfairly taken from her? He doesn't care about power, about sunwalking, he doesn't give a shit about anything and anyone -- he wants his child back. And he will make it happen.

At any cost.

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #like obviously i want victoria to be alive and leon to be at peace. it's hard not to feel for him #but the angsty potential is so within reach #the ketheric parallel lets gooooo #also i like imagining that it's not really about astarion himself and wanting to have what he has #but more of deep personal reasons - each of them have their story of pain and suffering #bg3 petras #bg3 leon #astarion #bg3 astarion #pale petras. more like dim petras amirite

I’ve made several posts about Lady Incognita/Amanita Szarr, and all the vampire spawn (Astarion’s Siblings)… so I felt it was good to put it in one place.

Introducing my labor of love, perhaps the biggest sign of my autism diagnosis, the vampire spawn archive 💕🫶🏻 where I have documented ALL the known lore, and popular theories. Yes, this includes all the notes, books, and photo references!

Think I’ve missed something? Message me here, send me an ask, or comment below—I prefer having proof of anything canonical, but if it’s a theory or something, send me your ideas! Nothing is too wild or outlandish, considering the game.

Share, reblog, and have fun!!
