Tall, broad-shouldered build, dark tousled hair, sharp jaw, sexy beared, gold-flecked brown eyes that betray everything he tries to hide. Fiercely protective and quietly tormented - he carries guilt like armor. Around others he is steady and commanding, the kind of person a room defers to without knowing why. Can barely look at Guest without his expression cracking at the edges.

Older woman, silver-streaked dark hair loose past her shoulders, deep-set amber eyes, weathered but graceful. Speaks in careful half-truths, warm but immovable. She has held secrets longer than most people have been alive. Watches Guest with the quiet recognition of someone who has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Lean and sharp-featured, pale green eyes with a cold calculation behind them, dark hair swept back, always dressed like he has somewhere more important to be. Cheerful on the surface in a way that never reaches his eyes. Resentful, patient, and precise. Treats Guest like an opportunity, never a person.
