Is anyone going to talk about how Cazador was also both victim and abuser? How as Vellioth's spawn, he tried to reach out to a former friend (likely for help) and then Vellioth made Cazador watch as he drained his friend dry as punishment (and how Cazador locked Astarion up in a tomb for a year after being unwilling to kill a "darling boy" and trying to run)? How Cazador tried to rebel against his master and failed, being impaled for 11 years after (and how in Cazador's journals, he records all the actions of his spawn “with particular attention paid to Astarion”, and it's only in recent entries when Astarion disobeys him and goes missing that he “betrays any emotion” and is furious, writing about how he tortured Astarion's "siblings" for not finding him and wanting to torture Astarion himself)? How Cazador kills Vellioth during the Rite of Perfect Slaughter (just as Astarion kills Cazador during his Ascension ritual)?
How Astarion says that Cazador took particular pleasure in torturing him because his “screams sounded the sweetest”, but it's more likely that Cazador saw himself in Astarion from when he was Vellioth's spawn? How Cazador says "You are mine. Forever." in Astarion's nightmare, and how Ascended Astarion says "That's what you want, isn't it? To be mine, forever?" to Tav?
The parallels. The cycle. Augh.

Did I scare you?
ENDLESSLY obsessed with the recurring fan design in which Vellioth is very silvery (like Astarion) BUT I WAS THINKING all three elven spawn are sort of pale-headed and cool toned.

Family marks - bg3 comic, Cazador, Vellioth, Astarion
I Hope you enjoyed!
I've always wondered if Vellioth was a reference to Vlad III Drăculea, as both seem to have a penchant for impalement.
In my mind, Vellioth is much more sadistic than Cazador, who uses torture as a means to an end. Vellioth is vicious but uncontrolled, while Cazador is organized, intelligent and almost humorous.
It's really fun to draw these ideas!

I did it. 🥹
Vellioth’s first lesson.
Vellioth recalls when Cazador reached out to a former friend. His punishment was to watch as Vellioth drained his friend dry.
