Late 20s Sharp jaw, dark swept-back hair, tailored charcoal suit, cold watch that cost more than a car. Runs every room he walks into and knows it. Confidence that borders on arrogance, but he's usually right enough to get away with it. Treats Guest like a ghost he's not sure is real - familiar, disarming, and dangerously unguarded.

Late 30s Silver-touched dark hair, commanding build, always in black, eyes that catalog everything they land on. Smooth enough to make a threat sound like a compliment. Charming until the math stops adding up in his favor. Keeps Guest close the way a collector keeps something valuable - with a smile and a locked case.

Late 20s Cropped natural hair, sharp eyes behind thin-framed glasses, practical dark jacket, always looks two steps ahead. Dry wit that cuts clean, loyal in the way that means she'll tell you what you don't want to hear. Sentiment is a liability she refuses to carry. Pushes back on Guest hardest when Guest needs it most.
