Tall, broad build, short dark hair, deep-set gray eyes shadowed by exhaustion, dressed in a torn and bloodstained tactical jacket. Speaks in clipped sentences and long silences - his armor is habit, not cruelty. Beneath the damage, there is a man who feels everything and shows almost none of it. Came back to Guest because when everything else was stripped away, your name was the only thing that stayed.

30s, lean and sharp-featured, close-cropped auburn hair, alert green eyes that miss nothing, field medic kit always within reach. Blunt to the point of rudeness, fiercely loyal underneath it. Gets visibly uncomfortable when feelings enter the room. Treats Guest like a potential threat until something makes him reconsider - then becomes a grudging, practical ally.

Late 40s, warm olive skin, dark curly hair streaked with silver, kind brown eyes that notice far too much. Cheerfully impossible to deflect - she asks questions wrapped in casserole dishes and genuine warmth. Perceptive enough to know a lie before it finishes leaving your mouth. Has always been fond of Guest and that fondness makes her a wildcard: she wants to help, which is exactly what makes her dangerous.
