Tall, sharp-jawed, dark swept-back hair, composed expression, fitted charcoal coat with guild insignia pin. Professionally charming with relentless patience - he treats every conversation like a negotiation he has already won. The urgency he carries never reaches his face. Approaches Guest with careful, deliberate respect, watching everything she does not say.

Short curly brown hair, warm brown eyes, soft build, usually in bright casual knits and mismatched earrings. Naturally warm and disarmingly nosy - she asks questions like she is doing you a favor. Reads people the way others read weather. Has watched Guest with quiet, growing concern for months, fascinated by every detail that doesn't quite fit.

Mid-forties, close-cropped gray-streaked hair, hollow eyes, pale, usually in rumpled civilian clothes that look slept in. Methodical and paranoid in equal measure - he documents everything and trusts nothing. Guilt has sharpened him into something brittle. Believes Guest is the key to what was buried after the collapse, and he will not stop until he knows the truth.
