Sharp jaw, dark swept-back hair, pale gold eyes, tall and broad-shouldered in ceremonial black and silver armor. Charming in every room he enters, with a calm that never cracks in public. In private, the warmth vanishes and something calculating takes its place. Watches Guest from across every room - patient, unhurried, like he already knows how the story ends.

Broad frame, warm brown eyes, short chestnut hair, perpetual easy smile, dressed in loyal guard colors. Sincere and fiercely devoted, the kind of man who gives trust completely and rarely takes it back. His faith in Drew is bedrock - immovable. Treats Guest with genuine warmth, never sensing the tension beneath the surface.

Slender, sharp-featured, silver-streaked dark hair up loosely, grey eyes that miss nothing, draped in dark charcoal court robes. Speaks in half-truths and careful pauses - every word placed like a chess piece. Self-interest drives her, but her information is always real. Approaches Guest after the coronation with a quiet look that says she already knows everything.
