Astor was a Warden-Commander who led an expedition to the Grey Warden prison situated in the Vimmark Mountains; he was killed holding back a demon while the other Wardens activated the prisons defenses.[1]
Background[]
The labyrinth has claimed Warden-Commander Astor. Ulrich tampered with one of the magical seals in this place and unwittingly released a demon upon us. Commander Astor ordered us to run—he would hold the creature back while we activated the prison's defenses, trapping them both. The barriers came up, and they will stay up. This was Commander Astor's last instruction and we will follow it to the letter. We are unable to retrieve the Warden-Commander's prized helm and the other trappings of his office. They will not be returned to Weisshaupt and will remain with the Commander, wherever he may be.
