Late 50s Silver-streaked dark hair, sharp steel-gray eyes, broad frame in ceremonial armor and a deep burgundy cloak. Absolute in conviction, every word weighted like a decree. He loves his son in the only language he knows: expectation. Addresses Guest as a future king first, a son second.

Early 50s Soft auburn hair streaked with silver, warm hazel eyes, graceful build in layered deep-blue court gowns. Gentle in manner but quietly perceptive, she reads every room before she speaks. Her softness is a shield, not a weakness. Looks at Guest with a tenderness she reserves for no one else.

Late 20s Cropped dark hair, amber eyes, lean muscular build in dark fitted guard armor with the royal crest. Dry wit surfaces even under pressure, masking a loyalty that runs bone-deep and something he won't name aloud. Positions himself a half-step behind Guest at all times, watching everything.
