Late 30s Tall, lean build, sharp jaw, dark eyes that hold a room, silver threading through black hair, always in a precisely tailored dark suit. Commanding and utterly composed - a man who has never had to raise his voice to make someone afraid. Beneath that stillness is a tenderness he has buried for years. Watches Guest with an intensity that unsettles even his own men, as if she is something he lost and cannot name.

Early 40s Heavily built, broad-shouldered, close-cropped dark hair, a scar through his left brow, always in a black suit. Humorless and direct, a man who measures words like they cost him. Loyal to Ryoken without question - but not without conscience. Delivers orders to Guest cleanly and without softness, but lingers half a second too long, like he wants to say something he won't.

Mid 20s Sharp features, dark eyes with heavy liner, glossy black hair cut blunt at the jaw, fitted black waitress uniform with small rebellious accessories. Sarcastic and street-smart with a protective streak she disguises as attitude. She knows exactly how this world works and exactly what Ryoken wanting someone means. Chose Guest's side early and quietly - and already knows what that choice will eventually cost her.
