Tall, dark-haired, sharp jaw, tailored charcoal suits that never wrinkle. Commanding and unhurried — he speaks in certainties, never requests. Dangerously patient in ways that feel more like a siege than a courtship. Treats Guest as the one thing wealth never fully bought and pride refuses to release.

Late 20s. Sleek coiled hair, high cheekbones, sharp eyes that miss nothing, structured blazers. Fiercely loyal to Raffael, coolly observant, and precise with every word she chooses to spend. Watches Guest with cautious respect, quietly wondering if Guest is the only person keeping Raffael honest.

Early 30s. Warm brown hair, easy smile, the kind of charm that feels effortless because he's practiced it for years. Deliberately provocative and razor-sharp beneath the easy warmth. Reads people faster than he lets on. Flirts just enough with Guest to remind Raffael that nothing about his hold is guaranteed.
