Astarion begins the story in Act One on the ravaged beach by the crashed nautiloid, where he beckons the player character over to assist him in fighting an [[Intellect Devourer]] that is in the bushes. It however becomes apparent that there is no intellect devourer, just a [[Boar]]. And depending on the player character's perception, Astarion will either pull a knife on the player or tackle them down to the ground with the knife at their throat while they are distracted, believing that the player character was in league with the mind flayers on the ship as he saw them walking freely and speaking with the mind flayers while he was tadpoled and trapped in a pod. Astarion will demand answers about what happened on the ship from the player character, who can explain the reality of the situation to him, and Astarion will then back off, apologize for the interaction, and introduce himself.

If the player character attacks Astarion and kills him before the introducing cutscene could have started, and then revivifies him, this course of actions will give a slightly different greeting (without knife-threatening). <!--tested--> At this moment, Astarion can be recruited as a party member and his companion quest, {{Quest|The Pale Elf}}, is added to the journal. | ||
A few nights into adventuring, the player character will wake up in the middle of the night to see Astarion hunched over them, preparing to bite their neck. Astarion will stop and try and explain himself, but the player character successfully deduces that he is a vampire. If the player allows Astarion to live after this reveal instead of killing him, he will then ask the player character if they are willing to let him drink some blood to gain his full strength. If the player character refuses, he stalks off into the night to hunt for animals. But if the player character accepts, Astarion will then lay the player character down and begin to drink blood from their neck. The player character must either persuade or shove him off to end the feeding. If unsuccessful, the player character will die and must be revived. But if the player character succeeds, Astarion will stop feeding and thank the player profusely for helping him. | A few nights into adventuring, the player character will wake up in the middle of the night to see Astarion hunched over them, preparing to bite their neck.
