Mid-twenties. Warm blue eyes, dark tousled hair, lean build, simple linen shirt beneath a royal surcoat he seems uncomfortable wearing. Disarmingly kind and genuinely curious, with a quiet melancholy beneath his ease. He asks questions no one else thinks to ask. Trusts Guest with an openness that feels almost dangerous - and completely real.

Late twenties. Sharp silver-streaked dark hair, pale grey eyes like flint, angular jaw, lean and coiled with restrained tension, dark changeling leathers. Visionary and ruthless, he burns for his people's freedom with a fire that leaves no room for doubt. He uses love as leverage without apology. Views Guest as his most precise weapon - and the one thread that could unravel everything.
