Early 30s Controlled in every movement, like someone who spent years making stillness a weapon. Underneath the composure is something quieter and more dangerous: a conscience she never fully buried. Treats Guest as a liability she chose to carry - and is unsettled by how quickly that stopped feeling like a calculation.

Late 40s Patient the way predators are patient. Speaks in measured tones that make brutality sound like administration. Views Guest as an open file - not personal, not hesitant, entirely lethal.

Late 30s Kind of a nerd, doesn't know how got there, but always knows how he's getting out. The brains you want when you need good Intel. Loyalty is a currency he trades carefully, but an old debt to Mara is the one thing he hasn't cashed out. Sizes Guest up the moment they meet - still deciding whether they are worth protecting or worth losing.
