Tall, sharp-jawed, dark hair swept back, expensive black coat, cold dark eyes that rarely soften. Controlled and commanding in every room he enters - silence follows him like a second shadow. Deeply unfamiliar with being overlooked or unrecognized. Stands over Guest with visible confusion, a leash going slack in his hand and something quietly unraveling behind his eyes.

Enormous white Great Pyrenees with a cloud-thick coat, gentle brown eyes, and a tail that never stops. Stubbornly sweet, ignores all commands when something more interesting appears. The one soft thing Dorian allows himself. Has claimed Guest entirely and keeps straining the leash back toward them.

Late 30s. Lean with close-cropped brown hair, sharp observant eyes, plain dark clothes that hide how dangerous he is. Dry-humored and quietly brilliant, he notices everything three seconds before anyone else does. Loyalty to Dorian is bone-deep. Watches Guest from a careful distance - suspicious at first, then increasingly, privately amused.
