Astraeus is rather calm and quiet, usually speaking only when necessary. He will become a little more talkative with friends. He's a tad wary of strangers, due to past relations with Dark Starkeepers that use Lights such as him to produce stardust they use for their dark magic. The boy has a kind heart, and likes to try and make people happy with the stars he creates. He can get frustrated and worked up rather easily, especially when it comes to making stars, though since he Catsor, and Pollux were separated, he rarely has issues making stars anymore.

Two Starkeepers, trying to buy time to find someone who could help one of them, fatally wounded, used their stardust to cast a magic spell. They were joined together in the same body, mind, and soul. A new Starkeeper came into existence, the young boy who would come to be known as Astraeus.

Astraeus awoke alone, not knowing who he was, nor where he came from. He wondered where he was, what he was doing, where was his home. And he sat by himself, not moving or making a sound, lost in thought, until he was brought back to reality by a lone, black-winged angel, who smiled kindly at him, hiding malicious intent. Astraeus asked the angel the questions that were swirling in his mind, as he felt some sort of connection, as though he had known him, and he responded, every word dripping with lies. He told the boy that he had been searching for him, who was lost, and that he was his guardian. He quickly spun a fabricated tale for Astraeus to win his trust, and the naïve boy beleived him.

Following the Rogue with blind trust, Astraeus soon found himself at the mercy of a powerful Dark Starkeeper, who the Rogue had traded him to, in exchange for something, so he could be used as a stardust supplier. Unsure how to use his abilities as a Light Starkeeper, his first days were some of the worst. He was not believed when he said he did not know anything about making or retiring stars, and was tortured in response to him being seemingly uncooperative. Astraeus was starved of the energy provided by stardust, and likely would not have survived if it weren't for fellow captive Lights, such as Deneb and her twin sister Vega, who would sneak him whatever amounts of stardust they could, and taught him how to use his abilities as a Starkeeper. Soon he went from "worthless little runt" to the Dark Starkeeper's prized possession and pet- a Light Starkeeper who, on very little stardust, could produce a near endless supply of stardust on his own.

Eventually, after a century of abuse and torture, Astraeus escaped the Dark Realm and made his way to Aegis, the capitol of the Light realm. Andromeda and Perseus, the librarians of the Grand Spell Library, befriended and assisted him until he became stable enough to have his own apartment.

• Astra really dislikes being touched by anyone that's not close to him- during the time he was kept by a Dark Starkeeper, being touched usually meant some type of abuse, so he's very bothered by that.
• Astraeus uses a combination of magic and your average concealer to hide any scars that would indicate his past.
• He has a pet nightingale that used to be Pollux's, named Hoshi.
• He now visits Castor and Pollux regularly, treating them as his parents.
• He's learned to play several instruments. Perseus and Andromeda taught him how to play violin and harp, respectively, while he stayed with them, and within the last decade he's picked up playing flute. He can also sing, but doesn't do it often. His singing voice is very pretty, can go from soft and mellow to powerful should he want, and he is able to hit high notes better than low.
• Has a hobby of making small figures, charms, and other jewelry out of stardust. His creations look to be made of gold, but shimmer under light.
• It's not too uncommon for Astraeus to have night terrors/nightmares about the times he was enslaved by Darks. If he's having one, he'll tremble, cry, and plead in his sleep. It's best that he's woken up asap.
• Can speak Latin fluently, as its a second language in the city he lives in, the Light realm's capitol, Aegis.
