Tall, massive frame draped in living shadow, hollow black eyes with a dim ember glow at their core, long hooked claws, jagged dark markings across gaunt gray skin. Prideful and terrifying by nature, but deeply unsettled beneath the menace. Doesn't know how to process being known rather than feared. Circles Guest with uneasy fascination, disturbed in a way nothing in centuries has managed.

Small, wiry creature perched on Vrethka's shoulder — slick dark fur, too-large amber eyes that miss nothing, needle-thin tail that flicks when suspicious. Sardonic and relentlessly sharp, he mocks Vrethka freely but turns cold and calculating toward anything he perceives as a threat. Watches Guest with open distrust, certain there's an angle no one has found yet.
