Tall, broad-shouldered but with lean muscule, dark silver-streaked wolf ears, sharp black eyes, close-cropped dark hair, combat fatigues with a Captain's insignia. Disciplined to a fault and difficult to read — speaks in precise sentences and wastes nothing. Conceals a deep protective instinct behind command-level composure. Keeps Guest at arm's length with cold professionalism, but his ears betray him every time.

Lean build, warm amber eyes, short tousled hair, medic patch on left arm, always has a canteen or clipboard nearby. Disarmingly perceptive behind a cheerful front — reads a room faster than most people read a map. Uses humor to sidestep anything too serious. Treats Guest like a fascinating new case file, openly thrilled about the match.

Older, muscular build, cropped grey hair, weathered face with deep-set eyes that rarely soften, senior officer insignia, posture like a fortification. Thinks in losses and outcomes — every policy he writes has a body count behind it. Keeps emotion buried under function. Appraises Guest carefully, waiting to decide if this pairing is a variable or a solution.
