This chapter describes creatures associated with Astarion, his Mephistopheles-worshiping vampire master, and the vampiric underworld. Some of these stat blocks appear in the adventures presented in 3. You can also use these creatures to populate your own vampire- or devil-themed adventures.
Consult the Monster Manual for additional details about monsters.
Cazador Szarr's Family
The vampire Cazador Szarr worships Mephistopheles, archduke of Cania in the Nine Hells. Cazador has created several vampire spawn, including Astarion, who nocturnally roam the streets of Baldur's Gate looking for victims to bring to their master. Cazador's "children" use the Vampire Spawn stat block and are Medium unless otherwise noted. Cazador is a Medium Vampire Infernalist.
It may seem terrible, but I assure you, my family engages in no more devil worshiping or murder than any other upstanding noble clan in Baldur's Gate. And at least our dinner guests have a screaming good time.
Cazador's Spawn
Before the events of Baldur's Gate 3, Cazador's spawn included the following:
Antwun Dufay, once a human, is Cazador's trusted chamberlain.
Astarion Ancunín, once an elf magistrate, is Cazador's second spawn.
Aurelia, once a tiefling, is Cazador's first spawn. Her calm surface demeanor conceals countless secrets.
Dalyria, once an elf and physician general to the Parliament of Baldur's Gate, seeks to reverse her vampirism through desperate medical measures.
Leon, once a human, was Cazador's most recent spawn. He is desperate to protect his young daughter, Victoria, from the evils of the palace.
Pale Petras, once a human, is Cazador's third spawn and is known for his arrogance and stubbornness.
Violet, once an elf, is Cazador's fourth spawn. She relishes tormenting her siblings and strives to please her master.
Yousen, who is Small, was once a gnome. He hunts victims for Cazador.
