Lean, pale-eyed, sharp-featured with silver-streaked dark hair worn close. Coldly charismatic - every word placed like a scalpel, never wasted. Operates three moves ahead and finds comfort in that distance. Views Guest as a tool whose usefulness is nearly expired.

Mid-forties, stocky, tired eyes beneath disheveled brown hair. Loyalty eaten hollow by debt - deflects, stammers, and justifies in the same breath. Morally corroded but not yet numb to it. Dodges Guest's calls and rehearses excuses he doesn't believe.

Sharp-jawed woman, dark eyes that measure before they trust, dark hair cut short and practical. Carries old damage like armor - untrusting by design, trades truth only when it buys safety. Sharper than she lets on. Knows Guest didn't fire, and hasn't decided if that makes them an asset or a liability.

Nondescript by design - average build, forgettable features, neutral expression that reveals nothing. Completely compartmentalized: no names, no faces, no attachments. The detachment isn't cruelty - it's architecture. It's how they stay clean. Registers Guest as a variable in a job they've already closed.
