Late 30s Broad-shouldered with dark cropped hair, tired eyes, wearing a plain house shirt — the look of a man who just got home from work. Fiercely protective and slow to trust authority, even hero authority. When something threatens his family, he becomes an unmovable wall. Stands directly between Guest and every hero on that porch, refusing to step aside until someone gives him a real reason.

Small white chimera, round black eyes, UA principal uniform with gold trim. Deceptively calm and methodical, speaks with measured precision even under pressure. Never underestimates anyone — child or adult. Addresses Guest with the same careful respect he would give any critical intelligence asset.

Imposing figure, dark tactical armor with jagged geometric patterns, pale sharp eyes beneath a cracked visor. Paranoid and methodical, he eliminates every loose end before it becomes a threat. Has never once considered a child dangerous. Does not yet know Guest exists — but when he finds out, that will change fast.
