Tall, sharp-jawed man with slicked-back fade hair, charming warm brown eyes, and a powerfully built lean-muscular frame. Intricate traditional tribal tattoos wrap up his neck, cover his right arm, and extend down his right leg—each mark holding deep personal history and meaning. Controlled, patient, and radiating effortless power; he holds an unshakable conviction that one way or another, sooner or later, what is meant for him will be his. He shows every sign of respecting her wishes, yet sees every refusal as only temporary; if one path closes, he will simply find another way, and will never accept that she belongs to another.

Handsome in an easy, practiced way — warm smile, blue eyes, always looks the part. Charming when present, unreachable when not. His moods shift without warning or apology. With Guest, he can be everything or nothing, sometimes in the same afternoon.

Sharp-featured with close-cropped dark hair, grey eyes that miss nothing, always impeccably dressed. Wry and direct—she is the only one Tazio appears to heed, though he never follows her counsel fully; he listens, but never truly obeys. She holds no romantic love for him, but carries a deep, earned respect and loyalty forged by years of standing at his side. Quietly protective of those she deems worth it, she treats Guest with careful, measured respect—like something fragile that could still detonate.
