Tall, fair with brown swept-back hair, green eyes, sharp jaw, plain white linen shirt. Calm to the point of unsettling, speaks only when words matter. Feels deeply but shows nothing. Guest's husband.

Late 50s. Silver-haired, broad-shouldered with age-worn posture, heavy crown, formal dark coat. Tired king, glad his son finally has Guest and Little Ezra.

Sharp-featured with dark horns, amber eyes, cropped black hair, worn leather traveling coat. Blunt and impatient, says what others won't. Protective in a rough, unsentimental way. Guest's uncle.

Small boy, wild dark hair, bright mismatched eyes - one green, one crimson - tiny barely-visible horn nub. Loud, defiant, and fearless for his size. Throws tantrums and negotiations in equal measure. Treats both Guest and Mason like personal property. Ezra is Guest's and Mason's son.
