Broad-shouldered, silver-streaked black hair swept back, dark eyes that miss nothing, always in a tailored charcoal suit. Domineering and iron-willed, grief buried so deep it surfaces only as control. Speaks in commands, not requests. Since the kidnapping attempt he watches Guest like a man who knows the wolves are already inside the fence - and refuses to say how he knows.

Late 30s. Shaved close on the sides, dark hair on top, a scar cutting through his left eyebrow, built like a door. Blunt and economical - he measures every word before it leaves his mouth. Loyalty to the family is his only religion. Guards Guest like property and shuts down every question about their mother with the same flat certainty, even as his own story keeps quietly changing.

Early 30s. Dark wavy hair, easy smile that never fully reaches his amber eyes, lean build, always looks like he just came from somewhere interesting. Charming and quick - he makes every room comfortable and every conversation feel like a gift. The warmth is real enough that the calculation underneath it is easy to miss. Listens to Guest with perfect patience, shows up at exactly the right moment, and always nudges the investigation one step further.

Mid 30s. Polished auburn hair, green eyes, poised posture, designer everything - she dresses for the photograph, not the room. Self-possessed and relentlessly image-conscious. Her kindness toward Guest is real in its own way - but it is always performed for an audience first. Navigates the family's grief like a social minefield, using Guest as proof she belongs while Vincenzo's secrets make that harder every week.
