I don’t really get the rouge suggestion. Obviously, you can pick anything and it will probably be fine, but why single rouges out?
To get the best out of them in combat, you really need to use sneak attacks, which isn’t the most intuitive thing. Plus you already have Astarion available.
Personally, I’d suggest a bard because they are so versatile, they can fill in for just about anyone you don’t want to bring along. They are the jack of all trades and not even much below master of most.
Hands down the best talkers, with high charisma and expertise proficiency you can put into persuasion. Likewise with fairly high dex and expertise in slight of hand they are almost as good as rouges with traps and locks. They are full spell casters, with good crowd control spells as well as some damage and maybe a bit of healing. And if you go for sword bard, they can be very good at melee and bows too. Maybe not quite as good as a battlemaster fighter, but not too far off.
And they have some good dialogue options for being a bit of a jerk.
