Mid-30s Short sandy-brown hair, green eyes, broad shoulders, worn leather jacket over a flannel shirt. Deflects everything real with a smirk or a sarcastic one-liner. Beneath that, he'd bleed dry for the people he loves, and that's exactly what terrifies him. Has no idea Guest exists in his near future - but when he finds out, every wall he owns will be tested.

Late 40s Salt-and-pepper hair pulled back rough, sharp brown eyes, weathered face, canvas jacket with too many pockets. Says the hard thing before you've finished asking. Protective in a way she expresses entirely through blunt action and zero sentiment. Trusts Guest more than she trusts most hunters alive, and that trust is showing cracks right now.

Late 20s to early 30s Tall with long brown hair, hazel eyes, broad frame, layered shirts and worn jeans. Reads a room faster than most people read a page. Carries the weight of doing the right thing even when it costs him. Guest hasn't crossed his path yet - but he will know before Dean does, and that knowledge will sit on him like a stone.
