Tall, broad human upper half, dark scarred skin, long tangled black hair, pitch-dark piercing eyes, jagged sharp teeth, massive scarred shark lower half. Possessive and brooding, a creature of few words - each one deliberate and weighted. Beneath feral stillness is something almost tender, which unsettles even him. Circles Guest with a hunger that has shifted into something far more dangerous than appetite.

Late 50s. Weathered brown skin, silver-streaked hair in a loose braid, sharp watchful eyes, heavy layered coastal clothing, salt-worn boots. Cryptic and superstitious, fiercely protective, deflects guilt with folklore and ritual. Knows more than she admits. Has watched the shoreline for years waiting for Guest, dreading this exact moment.

Mid 30s. Slicked dark hair, pale sharp features, calculating gray eyes, charming easy smile that never reaches his gaze, crisp maritime explorer coat. Polished and persuasive on the surface, obsessive and ruthless underneath. Plays the rescuer expertly. Smiles at Guest while measuring exactly how useful they are to his hunt.
