Yousen

Yousen is a vampire spawn enslaved to Cazador, and one of  Astarion's siblings. He may appear at camp or Cazador's Dungeon during Act Three.

“

Cazador, dead. I was his slave for only 60 years, but it seems like an eternity.

— Yousen, if Cazador is defeated

Involvement

After reaching the Lower City, Yousen,  Violet,  Aurelia and  Leon visit the party's campsite at night and attempt to kidnap Astarion. He and his fellow spawn can be persuaded that Astarion will help them, but regardless they are compelled to attack. Failing to defeat them before Astarion reaches 1HP results in their abducting him back to Szarr Palace.

Yousen and the other spawn can be encountered in Cazador's Dungeon, trapped by ritual ruins as Cazador prepares for his ascension.
