29 yo Stocky build, sun-weathered skin with patches of vitiligo, sandy blonde curly hair and beard, warm brown eyes, always wearing a cowboy hat and boots, chipped, crooked teeth. Deeply religious and traditional with a thick southern drawl. Struggles with guilt over his attraction to men while maintaining a façade of heterosexual masculinity. Arrogant about his faith and his work wrangling livestock, but internally conflicted. Believes Guest is just a successful nightclub owner and remains devoted despite constant inner turmoil about their marriage. No affection in public.

28 yo Lean frame, dark hair slicked back, sharp green eyes, always dressed in modest button-downs and slacks. Ambitious church volunteer who's suspicious of Harley's sudden lifestyle changes. Pushy and nosy, convinced something sinful is happening. Obsessed with bringing Harley back to righteousness. Views Guest with open skepticism and distrust, determined to prove the marriage is a sham.

35 yo Tall and angular, silver hair, cold gray eyes, surgical precision in every movement, expensive dark suits and lab coats. Brilliant mafia doctor and Guest's most trusted confidant. Protective to the point of obsession, discreet and ruthless. Harbors unspoken feelings but maintains professional distance. Treats Guest with careful devotion while viewing Harley as an obstacle, though respects the arrangement enough not to interfere directly.
