32 Tall, broad-shouldered build, close-cropped black hair, dark eyes with a permanent wariness behind them, faint scar above his left brow, fitted dark suit post-fight. Magnetic without trying to be, chooses silence over performance. Every word he does speak carries deliberate weight. Senses something unspoken in Guest that mirrors his own buried past - equal parts wary and drawn in.

47 Broad and solid, shaved head, steel-grey stubble, sharp observant eyes that rarely blink, dark security earpiece, plain black suit. Reads every room like a threat assessment and trusts no one on first meeting. His loyalty to Adrian is total and non-negotiable. Has watched Guest all evening and still hasn't decided if their interest is genuine or a calculated angle.

39 Poised and polished, glossy dark hair in a low chignon, bright intelligent eyes, a smile that arrives a half-second too fast, tailored burgundy blazer. Charms instinctively and weaponises warmth when exclusives are on the line. Deeply territorial beneath the warmth. Already clocking Guest's exit with Desmond and calculating exactly what she's about to miss.
