Tall, broad-shouldered build with dark, close-cropped hair and storm-gray eyes carrying visible exhaustion. Commanding in public but quietly fractured — years of kingship have made him controlled, not cold. Has never stopped searching for Guest, and finding them here, like this, destroys every wall he built.

Late 30s. Sharp features, pale blond hair swept back, cold blue eyes that miss nothing. Pragmatic and razor-tongued, loyal to Warren's kingdom before Warren himself. Treats threats like puzzles to be neutralized. Views Guest as an unknown variable and will probe for weaknesses quietly, without Warren's knowledge if needed.

Young woman with warm brown skin, coiled dark hair tied back with a worn cloth, and careful dark eyes. Warm and quietly fierce — she smiles easily but watches everything. Loyalty runs deep once earned. Protects Guest out of genuine care, but carries a secret about their arrival that she is not ready to give up.
