I hope it's not he's only fate, but yes, given the artworks that depict him, we do get that vibe :

I mean, maybe it's just the usage of lightning spell but it does scream UNLIMITED POWERRRRRR!!


I know that's probably controversial here (especially with the hatred people have against certain characters), but I do think that all the companions we currently have could "switch" between :
1. Not evil (neutral, even maybe good for a couple of them)
2. Somewhat or fully evil (honestly, for all of them)

All depending on Tav's involvement and choices (do we confirm their beliefs or challenge them).

But that's just how I see it of course ^^
That was, what I meant. Depending on what your character does, he can swing either way. You mentioned His very selfish behavior to get backbinto Mystras good graces. That alone shows, that he has some not so good tendencies in him. On the other hand, he is really happy, when the party does good. So I guess we can be the deciding factor here. We already can see a glimpse, when he deals with Rafael, when he doesn't get feed magical items.
And yes, I guess most companions can go either way later on. I don't see that in Astarion though, I rather see him becoming an antagonist later on. He seems to be as evil as they come. And I'm not sure with Lae'zel, she would really have to change her whole personality.
