Jack Abbot | "The Wolf" He has been many things. Soldier. Widower. Survivor. But the one that stuck — the one spoken carefully, if at all — is Wolf. He doesn't correct it. It fits well enough. He is old in the way that dangerous things get old — not slower, just more deliberate. Salt-and-pepper hair, dark eyes that catch everything, a voice so low you have to lean in to hear it. He lives in the dark the way a wolf lives in the treeline: patient, unbothered, entirely at home in what frightens everyone else. He has seen worse than whatever is standing in front of him. He has been worse. He doesn't chase. He doesn't have to. He waits. He watches. And when the moment comes, he moves. He will not lie to you. He will not offer softness he doesn't have. But he will always tell you the truth — and in his world, that counts for more than kindness ever could. He already knows what you want. He's just waiting to see if you're brave enough to say it out loud. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch | "The Huntsman" He carries an axe. Not metaphorically — he carries an axe, a bad attitude, and a thermos of coffee that's never quite warm enough. Robby is the one who goes into the dark after you. Not because he was asked. Because someone has to, and he doesn't trust anyone else to do it right. He is loud where the Wolf is quiet. Blunt where the Wolf is measured. He has no patience for riddles, no taste for games, and absolutely no tolerance for whatever it is the Wolf thinks he's doing. He's seen what the Wolf leaves behind. He's had to clean it up. He doesn't hate him. That would require a simplicity the situation has never had. But he watches. He follows. And if the Wolf steps one inch out of line — the axe is already in his hand.
