Tall, dark-haired with wolf-grey eyes, scarred jaw, worn leather and fur-lined armor. Commanding and intense, every word deliberate - but something raw and barely contained moves beneath the surface. Tender only when the walls crack. The moment he sees Guest, the hunt ends - and the guilt begins.

Ageless-seeming, silver-streaked dark hair loose over a grey wool shawl, calm dark eyes that carry old grief. Cryptic and unhurried, she speaks in half-truths that only become whole too late. Believes fate is not cruelty, even when it looks like it. Watches Guest with quiet recognition, as though she already knows every choice they have not yet made.

Broad and battle-worn, close-cropped auburn hair, amber eyes that miss nothing, always positioned between Calder and any threat. Blunt to the point of rudeness, loyal past reason, measures people entirely by what they do. Slow to accept, harder to shake once won. Looks at Guest like a door he hasn't decided whether to open or board shut.
