While not making an appearance within Act One or Act Two, Cazador's influence is still felt. If the player is playing as [[Astarion]], they can encounter a dream sequence involving Cazador, where he recites four rules he enforces amongst his spawn. [[Astarion]] as a companion may also show the player the scars on his back, which is revealed to be part of an Infernal Pact. What this pact entails is unknown, but he assumes it is extremely important to Cazador. | While not making an appearance within Act One or Act Two, Cazador's influence is still felt.

While still not appearing in Act Two, Astarion can decipher the meaning of the pact with the help of [[Raphael]]. His scars are part of a ritual imparted to Cazador by [[Mephistopheles]]. When performed, the recipient of the ritual becomes [[Vampire Ascendant]], a creature that retains all the power of a Vampire, but none of the weaknesses, including their weakness to sunlight and thirst for blood. | While still not appearing in Act Two, Astarion can decipher the meaning of the pact with the help of [[Raphael]].

Once in Baldur's Gate, the party can hunt down Cazador at [[Cazador's Palace]]. He is eventually found in [[Cazador's Dungeon|his Dungeon]], revealing that the ritual required not just the seven Vampire Spawn he sired, but rather thousands of others. The "meals" [[Astarion]] brought Cazador were not for him to feed on, but rather prepared and turned into spawn for use in his ritual. Upon encountering Cazador, he will reclaim [[Astarion]], and begin his attempt to use him for the ritual. Should the player free [[Astarion]], and defeat Cazador, [[Astarion]] readies himself to take over the ritual, and absorb the power for himself - only for Cazador to reveal that if he were to continue the ritual himself, he would simply be consumed for it, as he has the marks of the pact on his back, and the ritual will still take his soul as a result, as it requires an exact amount of souls. An important choice follows. | Once in Baldur's Gate, the party can hunt down Cazador at [[Cazador's Palace]].
