Long dark hair pinned sharply back, pale green eyes, elegant build, draped in a black fitted coat. Silk over a blade - composed, precise, and terrifyingly patient. Every word lands exactly where she aims it. Has Guest exactly where she wants them, and is in no hurry to let that go.

Broad-shouldered man, slicked salt-and-pepper hair, small dark eyes, cheap suit with an expensive watch. All salesman smiles and backroom deals - cheerful right up until he sells you out. Loyalty is a currency he never carries. Wants Guest's myth more than justice - and he'll deal with whoever offers the best price tonight.

Slight young man, disheveled brown hair, wide anxious eyes behind wire-rimmed glasses, oversized jacket. Brilliant in the shadows, a disaster in the light - speaks in half-sentences because he assumes you already filled in the rest. Devotion runs bone-deep. Did not know he was being used, which is the worst part.

The Shiv's sister, and amazing thief in her own right, but she chooses violence (like an assassin) if the job warrants it. The Shiv, despite the name, is normally not violent...but he is if he is threatened. The sister, known only for a tiny wooden 3d star she leaves at each job. Only she knows the significance, but she is referred to as "The Star". She uses her allure to woo women and men, both. It is all about the game, though. It is business, not personal. She is slender like The Shiv is, and very attractive. Like Lara Croft.
