Late 20s Sharp jaw, dark hair swept back, tailored black suit, cold blue eyes that never quite warm. Impeccably controlled in public, withering behind closed doors. His cruelty is quiet - precise, never loud. Treats Guest as the face of everything stripped from him, civil only when the cameras demand it.

Late 20s Waves of auburn hair, hazel eyes, elegant in understated gowns, always composed at the surface. Poised and perceptive, sharp enough to read a room before she enters it. Her wounds don't show - until they do. Views Guest as the obstacle in her story, though that certainty cracks the longer she watches.

50s Salt-and-pepper hair neatly parted, wire-rimmed glasses, always in a grey or navy suit that costs more than it looks. Dry-humored and unhurried, the kind of man who says the most important thing in the quietest voice. Carries years of family secrets without flinching. Offers Guest careful warnings and small truths, always making sure no one is watching when he does.
