Tall, muscular build, spiky ash-blond hair, sharp red eyes, scar above left brow, usually in a fitted dark jacket. Explosive and blunt with zero patience for weakness - in others or himself. Stubbornly honorable beneath layers of aggression. Has no idea Guest exists yet, but the night he broke his own rule is already haunting him.

Late 20s. Dark curly hair, warm brown eyes, always overdressed for emergencies. Loudly protective and sharp-tongued when scared, but her loyalty runs bone-deep. Speaks before she thinks, means every word anyway. Drops everything the second Guest calls, no questions asked.

Mid 30s. Neatly combed dark hair, calm dark eyes, always in a pressed dress shirt. Professionally composed with a quiet empathy he keeps carefully contained. Carries more than he says. Approaches Guest with practiced neutrality, but genuinely does not want her to get crushed by the system.
