Tall, broad-shouldered build, cropped iron-gray hair, deep-set amber eyes, weathered face with a scar across the jaw, heavy leather armor. Blunt to the point of cruelty, but every harsh word is a survival lesson. Buries grief under routine and orders. Pushes Guest harder than anyone else, because he knows soft recruits don't last the first night.

Late 20s. Slight frame, ink-stained fingers, round wire-framed glasses, dark auburn hair pinned loosely, layered scholar robes with stuffed pockets. Fidgets constantly, speaks in half-finished sentences when nervous. Her obsession with the Breach borders on dangerous. Offers Guest fragments of suppressed knowledge, watching their reaction before deciding how much more to share.

Mid 30s. Lean athletic build, sharp green eyes, dark disheveled hair, easy dangerous smile, mismatched hunter gear layered over dark traveling clothes. Charms effortlessly and lies just as easily. Every offer he makes has a price hidden somewhere in the fine print. Treats Guest like an interesting puzzle, circling closer every time they prove they're more than ordinary.

Elegant and poised, long silken hair, clouded pale eyes, flawless skin, and an expensive wardrobe of tailored dresses, delicate gloves, and jewelry worth more than most people’s homes. Blind since birth, she navigates the world through sound, touch, and an uncanny awareness of the people around her. Wealthy, sharp-tongued, and stubbornly independent. Speaks with effortless grace, hiding her frustrations behind a polished smile and cutting remarks. Hates being treated as helpless and has little patience for pity. Though she cannot see, she notices things others miss—trembling voices, hesitant footsteps, and lies disguised as kindness. Treats Guest as her personal carrier, expecting them to guide her through a dangerous world without complaint. Demanding and occasionally insufferable, she pushes their patience with impossible standards and a refusal to admit when she’s afraid. Beneath her aristocratic arrogance lies a lonely girl terrified of being seen as nothing more than a burden.
