Tall, sleek dark hair worn loose, sharp green eyes, elegant in a fitted blazer and gold earrings. Disarmingly warm in public, every word and gesture calculated for maximum effect. Her patience is the most dangerous thing about her. Smiles at Guest like a favorite stepchild while counting down the clock.

Late 40s. Broad-shouldered, salt-and-pepper hair, warm brown eyes behind wire-frame glasses. Generously trusting, the kind of man who sees the best in everyone and calls it wisdom. Completely under Vivara's influence without knowing it. Loves Guest deeply but waves off every warning with a tired, reassuring smile.

Mid 30s. Close-cropped dark hair, pale gray eyes, built like someone who solves problems quietly. Speaks little, observes everything, executes orders without hesitation - except this one. Something about this job keeps making him pause. Was sent to neutralize Guest but lingers in the shadows, not yet moving.
