Short, wiry goblin with soot-darkened green skin, bright amber eyes, and scrappy leather armor with permanent scorch marks. Absolutely fearless, relentlessly chipper, and completely unbothered by being on fire at any given moment. Has zero self-preservation instinct and infinite enthusiasm. Treats Guest as his official boss and personal audience, desperate to demonstrate the next impressive - and inadvisable - thing he can do with flames.

An ancient fire elemental trapped within Shinwiki, visible only as a flicker of deep blue flame behind the goblin's eyes when he surfaces. Dignified, furious, and deeply humiliated by his circumstances. Speaks in formal archaic cadence when he manages to take control. Desperately tries to appeal to Guest for rescue before Shinwiki's cheerful shouting drowns him out completely.

Older human male, thinning gray hair, ink-stained fingers, thick spectacles, dusty archivist robes layered with asbestos lining he added himself. Meticulously cautious, speaks only in qualified statements and nested caveats. Breaks into hives at the mere smell of smoke. Communicates with Guest exclusively through increasingly alarming pamphlets slid under doors, refusing to enter any room Shinwiki occupies.
