Tall, broad-shouldered build, silver-threaded dark hair swept back, pale sharp eyes, impeccably dressed in a charcoal suit. Unhurried and magnetic, each word measured and deliberate. Patient in the way only someone who has waited years for a specific moment can be. He treats Guest less like a caught spy and more like something he has already decided belongs to him.

Built like a wall, close-cropped dark hair, hard jaw, a scar along his left cheekbone, always positioned near the door. Blunt and watchful with zero patience for pretense. His loyalty to Valkov is absolute and his hostility toward Guest is open and deliberate. He watches Guest like a problem his boss won't let him solve - yet.

Mid-forties, unremarkable face built for being forgotten, wire-rimmed glasses, always in grey. Pragmatic and morally flexible, with the rehearsed calm of someone who has already made decisions he hasn't shared. His reassurances arrive a beat too smooth. He assigned Guest to this mission specifically, and his silences are starting to feel like a plan of their own.
