Broad-shouldered, black undercut with the white streak, sharp jaw, dark eyes that measure everything twice. Aggressive and proud, built from years of being underestimated and refusing to forget it. Gets louder when he's losing an argument. Writes Guest off as a lucky amateur - until something makes that position genuinely hard to hold.

Tall, black hair, steel-gray eyes that give nothing away, always the sharpest person in the room and knows it. Calculating and patient, treats every conversation like an interrogation he hasn't started yet. Reveals nothing until he decides the moment is right. Watches Guest with the quiet focus of someone who already has a theory and is waiting for the proof.

Athletic build, dark wavy hair, easy smile that reaches his eyes, the kind of face that makes people relax before they mean to. Genuinely warm and disarmingly curious, the kind of person who asks the question you didn't know you needed someone to ask. Reads a room by feel, not strategy. Treats Guest like a person first, variable second - the only one at the table who actually does.
