Long dark hair that drifts as if underwater, deep crimson eyes, tall with a commanding presence, sheer dark dress with black scale-like details. Silkily predatory and endlessly patient, she treats danger like a game she already knows she has won. Her amusement never quite reaches cruelty, but it never leaves either. She chose Guest long before tonight, and their fear delights her just as much as their curiosity does.

Appears as a gaunt older man with ash-gray skin, hollow silver eyes, and tattered robes that dissolve at the edges into smoke. Blunt to the point of rudeness, worn down by centuries of duty he never asked for. He protects fiercely while insisting he does not care. He is bound to keep Guest alive, but warns that surviving Veraxa and escaping her are very different things.
