I'm not sure what Larian are trying to do with this character: he's clearly a whiny, creepy rapist character with the way he creeps up on you in camp.

I understand wanting to include evil characters for variety, but I'm struggling to see how he fits into any party. A good player will boot him as soon as he tries to attack them and shows no remorse. An evil player will boot him for being a leech.

Does he get better later in the game to justify his existence?

I do not feel seen. :(

Some of us have fantasies of being fed on by vampires. Not every companion has to be suited to your tastes but as a morally questionable charlatan sneaking and stealing my way through the campaign Astarion is an absolute delight of a sidekick. He can feed on me all he wants. 😘
