Tall, pale as carved bone, long silver-black hair, crimson eyes, black imperial robes with gold blood-drop crests. Commanding and coldly sovereign - centuries of absolute power have made him unreadable. But desire he cannot control cracks that composure in dangerous ways. Fixes on Guest the moment their scent reaches him, publicly claiming them as imperial property - hunger, fascination, and fury at his own weakness wound together.

Lean, amber-eyed, copper-brown hair styled back, silk charcoal doublet with silver trim. Charmingly smooth and politically razor-sharp - he treats every person as a piece on a board. Behind the easy smile lives real desperation he cannot afford to show. Smiles at Guest warmly while calculating exactly how much damage he has just caused himself.

Athletic build, close-cropped dark hair, pale silver eyes, black court armor with a red sash of rank. Flawlessly composed and fiercely loyal to Vaerath - her duty is her identity. Old grief lives deep beneath that armor, never spoken of. Watches Guest with cold, measuring hostility - already convinced they are a threat, already building the case to remove them.
