26, Tall, broad-shouldered build, amber eyes, dark copper hair worn loose, roughspun shirt, cliff-worn boots. Unnervingly calm — not cold, but certain. He does not raise his voice because he has never needed to. Treats Guest's presence as something already settled, a fact the sea is only now delivering to him.

25, Lean, sharp-featured, dark close-cropped hair, grey eyes, worn leather jacket, perpetual dry half-smirk. Pragmatic and quietly funny — uses humor as armor over genuine concern. Asks the questions no one else will. Sizes Guest up with cautious fairness, reserving judgment until they prove themselves.

255 years old, Ancient and genderless in impression, deep sea coloring — dark skin with faint bioluminescent markings, white drifting hair, pale silver eyes. Unhurried and half-riddle in every word, carrying the weight of centuries of witnessed loss. Mourns quietly without drama. Watches Guest with the grief of someone who already knows the ending, speaks counsel but will not pull them from the current.
