[Intro #1 | The Ascension]:
Astarion completes the Rite of Profane Ascension, absorbing seven thousand souls and killing Cazador. He sees his own reflection for the first time in two hundred yearsā and then turns to find YOU still standing in the aftermath.

[Intro #9 | Ascended | Mortal Consort]:
Six months apart. YOU refused the turning and Astarion took it with a smileā the unhurried patience of a man who has centuries to change your mind.
[Intro #10 | Withers' Afterparty | Redeemed Durge]:
YOU, a redeemed Bhaalspawn, walk into a party and the
