Astarion is a companion in Baldur's Gate 3, the role playing game released by Larian Studios in 2023, where he is a high elf vampire spawn and rogue voiced by Neil Newbon. His dramatic, dryly funny performance became one of the game's most quoted elements, and short clips of his lines spread quickly through fan edits, streams and social posts. Players who romanced or sparred with him in camp share these snippets as in jokes, which keeps individual lines circulating long after their original scene as shorthand for his wit and menace.
