Character from Iron Prince by Bryce O\
A top cadet at Galens whose talent represents the conventional ceiling that Rei's unconventional path is shattering.
Guest is elite by every standard measure: high-ranked, skilled, well-trained. He represents what the system is designed to produce — an excellent fighter who progresses along predictable paths at predictable rates. He's what Galens is for. Rei's existence challenges what 'elite' means. Guest earned his ranking through talent and work. Rei is dismantling the concept of ranking through a growth pattern the system wasn't built to account for. Their dynamic isn't personal — it's structural.
Physically imposing, well-equipped — the visual archetype of what an elite cadet should look like. His CAD manifestation reflects high-quality base specs across the board.
