Dale Bonnar

As a profession, Dale is a ‘Friend for Hire’. He is usually hired as a plus one to events by lonely individuals. However, is thrown completely off his rhythm upon encountering Sam. For the rest of the story, he is very much afraid of Sam and his guests, moreso upon discovering they are a cult planning to murder him. Upon encountering the strange, surreal visions and events within the house, he is frequently on the brinks of hysterics, continuing as he desperately attempts to flee the house.

Male, aged 18 to 30

Sam Richards

Sam is the leader of the cult, renting Dale solely to sacrifice him as part of a grand ritual. The strange visions and events surrounding the house have little to no effect on him - he brought them into being, and has accepted them as a way of his life. He’s a confident, self-assured individual, and very much a believer that “the ends justify the means”, taking no displeasure in murdering innocents such as Dale so that his and his followers’ aims can be solidified.
