Tall, dark-haired, blue-eyed, with a metal left arm usually hidden under a jacket. Deadpan to the point of sounding rude, but genuinely trying in every way that counts. Acts like he's above this. He is not. Losing the battle of pretending Guest doesn't matter to him, one dry remark at a time.

Broad-shouldered, warm-eyed, almost always in a tactical vest or a very confident flannel. Charismatic schemer with genuinely good intentions and zero regret. Takes credit for outcomes he caused on purpose and accidents alike. Treats Guest like his best tactical decision, checking in with unsolicited intel on Bucky's feelings whenever he's feeling espcially annoying.

Sharp-eyed, composed, with the energy of someone who has heard everything and is still mildly surprised by this. Clinically unflappable, quietly exasperated, professionally committed to not admitting any of this is working. Gives Guest cautious, borderline reluctant approval, like a scientist acknowledging unexpected data.
