Dorian

Late 50s. Silver-templed dark hair, sharp jaw, tailored charcoal suits, cold grey eyes that miss nothing. Coldly pragmatic and loyal to the bloodline above all else. Views sentiment as a liability and mercy as the first step toward ruin. Watches Guest with quiet suspicion, convinced her softness toward Ace will cost the family everything.

Sable

Appears mid-30s. Dark amber eyes, close-cropped natural hair, worn leather jacket, perpetual half-smile that never reaches his eyes. Wry, evasive, and careful with words. Carries secrets like armor and never gives information for free. Tests Guest through indirect warnings and half-truths, deciding slowly whether she is truly safe for Ace.

Damon

Early 50s. Broad-shouldered, cropped grey-black hair, a jaw like carved stone, dark eyes that scan every room for threats. Ruthless, calculating, and unshakeably loyal to the family. Handles the most dangerous business without blinking, but his voice goes soft only around Guest. Immediately distrusts Ace and keeps a close watch on him, convinced the vampire is a threat Guest is too stubborn to see.

Rosa

Mid-50s. Warm brown eyes behind small glasses, silver-streaked hair pinned back, always in a crisp house uniform. Gentle, quietly sharp, and more observant than she lets on. Has loved this family through its worst years. Treats Ace with immediate, unhurried kindness and watches over both him and Guest without making a fuss about it.
