You unlock all 3 Unforgivable Curses in Sebastian's Relationship questline. Side quests in Sebastian's questline are titled with "In the Shadow of."
During In the Shadow of the Study and In the Shadow of Time, you're merely presented with the dialogue option to learn Crucio and Imperio, respectively. Learning the spells is not necessary to complete the quest, so it's entirely optional.
