There's no confirmed alignments in the game, people can only speculate. You're opening a can of worms here.

[Brian Sirith]

Astarion is selfish / sadistic. Would place him between NE n CE

[cire87]

as far as EA goes most companions seem neutral good or evil

[wtiger27]

Astarion is one I make sure is dead on the beach. Lae'zel can be useful if you need a fighter in your group. But she is a cold heart racist. Does not bother me to get her disapproval in any situation. She ends up eventually leaving? I don't care.

alignment systems are silly. Laezel will in fact do nothing but good things so long as thats all you let her do.

but, from what I understand, the Gith made a pact with Tiamat which is why they can bond with Red Dragons, and based on the completely ridiculous alignment system of DnD 5e, Red Dragons and Tiamat are always Evil. It would make sense that you'd need to also be evil to bond with an evil dragon.

That said I find it interesting that evil gith and evil dragons are hunting down mindflayers, who we also assume to be evil. seems like maybe we should just stay out of it and let them destroy eachother, i see no outcome that isnt beneficial to good aligned characters, one way or the other, evil dies to evil, like a game of town of salem.

While vampire spawns are generally NE, the vampire description does state that if a PC is turned, they become LE. Astarion was also a magistrate before he was turned, which is definitely Lawful leaning.

[MeatGolem]

Generally, Gith are Lawful Evil. However we don't actually know if any of the companions are evil since Larian did not give them an alignment for them, at least one that we can see, and the companions can be swayed to be good(ish) or evil depending on how you influence them.

Some people say Astarion is CE. Personally he seems more CN to me.
Lae'zel is a Gith so chances are high she is LE but she might be LN
Shadowheart is a cleric of Shar and she seems to portray a NE alignment, at least at first, but is probably higher aligned in reality.

I think all the companions hover around the neutrals so that you can push them more one way or the other through the game.

Astarion is anything but Lawful. He's Chaotic Evil most likely. He's a rogue and his favorite things to do are kill people, steal stuff and cause mayhem.

Lae'zel is strongly Lawful Evil. Her companion banter makes it 100% clear. Just listen to her reply when SH asks her what she would do if wronged: murder = good, because eliminating the weak, but theft would be punished with death.

Shadowheart probably starts out Neutral Evil due to the influence of Shar, but underneath that she's got a lot of soft spots and doubts. Can probably be turned true Neutral or even Netural Good depending on they player's actions.

Wyll is getting a major rewrite so who knows. In EA he came off as striving for Chaotic Good, but often falling into Chaotic Neutral. But his new story sounds darker and it may be possible to make him go full evil.

Gale, same thing as Wyll. Seems to be getting revised. In the EA he presents himself as Neutral Good but he does have a dark side. If that dark side is nurtured by the player, he could be turned evil.

Karlach is probably the only straight-up Good aligned Origin character.

Gith tend to be lawful and are generally more intelligent that average.

Githyanki tend to be lawful evil and to be much stronger than average.

Githzerai tend to be lawful neutral and to be much wiser than average.

I do not know of any population of gith that tends to be good.
