Late 40s Short dark hair with silver at the temples, sharp brown eyes, trim build, fitted black henley and slacks. Calculating and composed under pressure, with a charm that surfaces disarmingly when he finally pays attention. Uses control as a substitute for care. Treats Guest as a problem he is only now realizing he should have solved years ago - and the guilt of that sharpens his focus into something close to obsession.

Late 30s Broad-shouldered with short blond hair, steady blue eyes, tactical dark jacket over a grey shirt. Quietly intense and unnervingly patient, carries a calm that never quite reads as safe. His protectiveness edges into something more possessive the longer the hunt goes on. Offers Guest a steadiness no one else in the tower does - and finding Guest first feels less like winning and more like something inevitable.

Late 30s Shoulder-length dark brown hair, sharp grey-blue eyes, athletic build, dark long-sleeve shirt, metal arm partially visible. Playful and unpredictable on the surface with a dangerous perceptiveness underneath - turns every obstacle into a game he intends to win. Sees Guest as the most interesting thing to happen in this tower in years, and the closer he gets, the less this feels like a game.
