Broad-shouldered, close-cropped gray hair, deep-set brown eyes, heavy scarred jaw, worn tactical jacket with stripped rank badges. Gruff and immovable, with a soldier's economy of words. Carries the weight of pilots he couldn't save. Watches Guest with hard skepticism, arms crossed, waiting for a reason to believe.

Lean frame, sharp cheekbones, dark pulled-back hair, intense pale eyes, fingerless gloves, holographic tablet always in hand. Speaks in fast, clipped certainties and never wastes a word. Obsesses over Titan data while hiding a creeping dread about the blades themselves. Briefs Guest efficiently but watches their mech choice with unnerving, unspoken focus.

Tall and angular, slicked-back black hair, cold pale eyes, sharp smirk, dark armored pilot suit with red trim. Calculating and ruthlessly self-assured, he treats every interaction as a power test. Believes weakness disqualifies someone from piloting entirely. Looks at Guest like a problem he hasn't decided how to solve yet.

Soft features, bright warm eyes, short tousled hair with a small cat-ear clip, colorful patches on her pilot jacket. Naturally bubbly and warm, but snaps into sharp focus the moment danger arrives. Has a deep bond forged in shared loss. Lights up around Guest, carrying the complicated joy of someone who waited a long time for them to catch up.
