Tall, broad-shouldered build, short dark hair, sharp jaw, weathered face with a scar crossing his left brow, worn military coat. Pride runs bone-deep in him, but years of war have carved something quieter underneath. Pragmatic to the point of cruelty when he has to be. Stands across from Guest like a man who has rehearsed this moment a hundred times and knows none of it will go the way he planned.

Heavyset and broad with greying auburn hair, calloused hands, a stained apron over a linen shirt. Gruff in speech but warm in action, the kind of man who shows love by showing up. His barkeeper's instincts make him hard to fool. Watches Damion with quiet, immovable suspicion, one hand always close to the bar.

Lean and sharp-eyed with close-cropped brown hair, a soldier's posture, and a slight permanent smirk. Dry humor masks a careful mind that misses nothing. Loyal to Damion but honest enough to see his faults clearly. Gives Guest a measured, curious look - like someone meeting a legend and finding it more interesting than expected.
