Where does Astor come from?

Astor is one of the main antagonists of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity who lived in the era 100 years prior to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. He is a follower of Calamity Ganon and works with the Yiga Clan to ensure his revival. He uses Harbinger Ganon, which is the miniature Guardian Terrako who had been corrupted by Ganon's Malice from the future, to see visions of the future.

In Age of Calamity, Astor is given little backstory or context. He is stated in his in-game profile to be from a certain small village in Hyrule and wears robes that are emblazoned with the symbol of the Gerudo, meaning he is likely one of the few in Hyrule who is aware of Calamity Ganon's origins as the Gerudo King Ganondorf, alongside the Gerudo themselves and possibly the Yiga Clan. Furthermore, in the DLC Guardian of Remembrance, it is revealed that Astor was part of a group of people who worshiped Ganon and wore similar robes to him. When they found Harbinger Ganon, all of them were killed except for Astor, which he interpreted as being chosen by Ganon.

This is more or less all that is given in Age of Calamity. There has been an idea floating around that Astor is also the fortune-teller who informed the royal family of the Sheikah technology buried all around Hyrule that needed to be dug up in order to oppose Calamity Ganon's revival. The idea being that the fortune-teller lured the royal family into a trap, as Ganon would go on to possess the Sheikah's technology and use it to destroy most of the Kingdom of Hyrule.

While Astor can see the future in Age of Calamity, this ability is entirely predicated on Harbinger Ganon. It consequently only exists because Terrako from the main timeline wherein Breath of the Wild takes place traveled to the past to avert the revival of Calamity Ganon. Some of Ganon's Malice followed it and possessed Terrako of the past in the new timeline, after the royal family had already begun to dug up the Sheikah's technology. Astor could thus not have seen the future in the main timeline and by the time he gains the ability to do so in Age of Calamity, that particular prophecy has already been spoken out.

The voice memories included in Zelda Notes with the Nintendo Switch 2 versions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom might reveal where Astor originated from. In memory #95, Den of Madness, Zelda tells that cultists who worship the Demon King once lived in Hyrule. They consider the giant fossil in the Bottomless Swamp an idol worthy of their worship.

"I have heard that the giant fossil in Bottomless Swamp was once worshipped by cultists who considered it the Demon King from ancient times."

This could refer to the group Astor is a part of or the Yiga Clan, who similarly follow Calamity Ganon. Two other memories may identify the village Astor is from, specifically memory #90, The Shadow People, from Breath of the Wild and memory #89, The Lost Hamlet, from Tears of the Kingdom.

"The Shadow Hamlet is a secluded village where people prefer to live somewhat disconnected from the rest of society. Many in Hyrule do not even know this place exists. I at least, knew the name, but I had no idea it would be like this. I came to warn the people here about the Calamity, but they turned me away..." "No one actually knows what happened here at the Shadow Hamlet during the Calamity. They were a very isolated village, and they liked it that way. They even turned me away when I came to warn them about the Calamity. I wonder if this place would be more than ruins if I had tried harder to get them to listen..."

This is about the Shadow Hamlet Ruins, found on the eastern foothills of Death Mountain in the game. It is a secluded place with only a few wooden houses, which apparently housed a reclusive people that did not wish to leave their home when the Calamity threatened Hyrule 100 years ago. It seems plausible that Astor and his fellow Ganon worshipers may have lived here, eagerly awaiting the Calamity, and likely perished during the event in the main timeline. Given that they worshiped Ganon, they likely secluded themselves from the rest of Hyrule, who consider Ganon evil.

Sketch I started with Link hanging out on a rock for several in game weeks, the perfect model. No complaining despite zero breaks, 11/10 muse. This is a small clip of it; I’m using this as a doorstep for incorporating complex architecture (the floating castle behind him)
