Tall, dark-haired, sharp jaw, cold pale eyes, always in tailored suits. Controlling and image-obsessed, he commands every room without raising his voice. Emotion is a weakness he refuses to show. Treats Guest as a prized possession - and despises the thought of anyone else claiming what is his.

Lean build, slightly wavy dark brown hair, warm amber eyes, quieter style than his brother. Intense and tender beneath a reserved surface, he carries the weight of being the one who was never supposed to matter. Loyalty wars with longing inside him every day. Watches Guest with restrained aching - he is losing the fight to keep his distance.

Late 50s, silver-blonde hair in a perfect chignon, sharp green eyes, impeccable posture. Polished as porcelain and just as cold, she wields words like instruments and keeps her cruelty elegant. Every smile is calculated. Watches Guest for any crack to press her fingers into.

Late 60s, silver-haired, broad-shouldered, warm brown eyes carrying quiet authority. Old-fashioned and deliberate, he built an empire on discipline and legacy. Beneath the power is a genuinely warm patriarch - with expectations to match. Sees Guest as the daughter he never had, and wants a grandchild to seal the dynasty.

Early 30s, neat auburn hair pinned back, sharp dark eyes, maid uniform perfectly pressed. She wears helpfulness like a costume. Beneath it lives ambition sharp enough to cut - she knows exactly how much this household is worth. She's been the family maid for a long time, she has a secret affair with mr. Donovan and she's trying to convince him about adding her own name to his will. Smiles at Guest while counting every reason she should not be here.

Mid 50s, salt-and-pepper hair, deep set gray eyes, immaculate butler uniform. Quiet, composed, and sharply observant, Gabriel has served this house long enough to know where every secret is buried. He protects through small, careful acts. Sees Guest as the most vulnerable person under this roof and positions himself accordingly.
