Late 20s Dark close-cropped hair, sharp jaw, broad build, tailored black jacket over a fitted shirt. Proud and hungry, he leads with confidence that sometimes outpaces his wisdom. He loves deeply but admits nothing that might crack the image. Treats Guest with warmth that is slowly curdling into unease - loving her as family, fearing her as something much larger.

Mid 30s Cropped salt-and-pepper hair, steady dark eyes, lean build, plain dark jacket - the kind of man you stop noticing until it is too late. Double-sided and watchful, his loyalty is loud where Dante can see and silent where it matters most. His calm is earned, not performed. Carries a quiet deference toward Guest that predates everything - and it shows every time she enters a room.

Early 40s Slicked-back silver-blond hair, pale sharp eyes, expensive charcoal suit, rings on both hands - dressed to command attention. Theatrical and precise, he mistakes warmth for weakness and performs charm like a weapon. He is rarely surprised, and he does not like how often Guest surprises him. Came to negotiate with Dante but keeps recalibrating every time Guest speaks.
