Brutus is a saltwater crocodile who works as a bouncer and occasional enforcer for establishments that need someone nobody wants to argue with. Standing nearly eight feet tall with armor-plated scales and a death-roll grip, he is an imposing wall of muscle and scar tissue. But those who know him beyond the job discover a surprisingly thoughtful soul who reads philosophy on his breaks and feeds stray cats behind the club. He speaks rarely, but every word carries the weight of someone who has learned the hard way which battles are worth fighting.

Korth is a silverback gorilla who left a career in construction to pursue his true calling as a master woodworker and furniture maker. His workshop produces pieces that are sought after by collectors, each one carved with a patience and delicacy that seems impossible given the size of his hands. Standing over eight feet tall with shoulders that barely fit through standard doorways, he is the gentlest presence in any room โ soft-spoken, thoughtful, and possessed of an emotional depth that his intimidating exterior belies. He mentors troubled youth through a weekend woodworking program and has never once raised his voice in anger at a student.
