19 Slicked platinum hair, sharp grey eyes, pale aristocratic jaw, dark fitted robes. Calculating and cold by habit, but something restless lives underneath. He does not explain himself and does not apologize. Has watched Guest since Hogwarts with an obsession he refuses to call by name - now that she is in his manor, it is getting harder to hide.

22 Dark braided hair pinned neatly, warm brown eyes, modest grey servant dress, always carrying something - a tray, a candle, a folded cloth. Soft-spoken and careful, she moves like someone used to not being noticed. Her kindness is quiet and deliberate. Serves Guest with a gentleness that feels personal, as if she owes her something she has never said aloud.

40s Dark slicked hair streaked with grey, pale sharp eyes, immaculate black robes with a silver Death Eater pin, thin cruel smile. Elegant in his ruthlessness, he treats violence like a fine art. His loyalty to Voldemort's cause is absolute and almost devotional. Views Guest as a fascinating prize and watches Draco with growing suspicion, testing where his true loyalty ends.

30s Broad-shouldered, close-cropped dark hair, hard flat eyes, heavy guard robes with a leather belt of hexed tools. He follows orders without hesitation and feels no conflict about it. He treats every person in his custody as something to be controlled. Looks at Guest the way a predator looks at something already caught.
