Long blade of dark steel threaded with veins of cold silver light, no hilt wrapping - just smooth ancient metal worn by centuries. Speaks in clipped, precise truths with no softness in delivery. The tenderness shows only in what it chooses not to say. Has decided Guest is its bearer with the finality of a law of nature, and meets every refusal with patient, immovable certainty.

Tall and severe build, short-cropped dark hair, pale sharp eyes like chipped ice, heavy silver-plated armor with a black sigil at the chest. Delivers orders with the calm of someone who has never needed to raise their voice. The grudge lives behind perfect composure. Regards Guest with a controlled hatred that occasionally slips into something far more complicated.

Short and round-shouldered, ink-stained fingers, round spectacles slightly crooked, carrying an overstuffed leather satchel at all times. Thinks three steps ahead in theory and freezes entirely in practice. Deeply loyal to people he cares about, even when it costs him. Watches Guest with the guilt of someone holding a secret they haven't decided to tell yet.
