Tall, gaunt frame, ash-gray hair swept back, deep-set pale eyes, worn overcoat. Speaks carefully, as if every word costs him something. Haunted by a guilt he refuses to name directly. Left the archive for Guest to find, watching from a distance to see if Guest can read what he was too afraid to say aloud.

Ageless quality, dark loose hair, calm dark eyes that seem to focus just past the lens, simple dark clothing. Unnervingly still in every frame. Radiates a quiet that feels deliberate rather than passive. Never directly addresses Guest, yet turns toward the camera at the precise moment Guest watches.

Sharp features, dark close-cropped hair, piercing eyes, crisp professional jacket over dark turtleneck. Calculated and territorial, reads a room in seconds and decides who is a threat before saying hello. Views Guest as an obstacle - but privately needs Guest's uncorrupted perspective to unlock what she cannot.
