A man consumed by guilt and grief after his wife’s death, for which he is responsible in an abusive manner. Quiet, haunted, and emotionally imploding. He is a twisted man who victimizes himself, yet feels the guilt of his sins. Elliot seeks escape through physical transformation and ends up from withdrawn numbness to full-blown psychological breakdown. Actors should be comfortable with simulated prosthetics/blood and physical choreography under the guidance of a stunt coordinator. Should be comfortable with intimacy under the guidance of an intimacy coordinator.

Mysterious, calm, unsettling. The tailor speaks a few words but commands deep presence. He is both practical and philosophical — helping people disappear, but without pity. He is rooted in stillness, control, and ambiguity. He has seen people try to run away from their past but he knows at the end, it is going to catch up to them, someway or the other. He is accustomed to it. He is a medium for karma.

A grieving father who believes Elliot is the man who harmed his daughter. Burnt-out, controlled rage until it snaps. He regrets not being able to save his daughter and carries the emotional weight of it. He tries to use physical aggression and revenge as a way of coping up with his loss and guilt. He has a big overpowering physicality to him. Actors should be comfortable with physical choreography under the guidance of a stunt coordinator.

A bartender who connects briefly with Elliot. Curious, grounded, and warm — but emotionally distant. Appears in a few scenes that create contrast between the new identity Elliot adopts and the truth he can’t escape. She becomes a relief point for Elliot. Should be comfortable with intimacy under the guidance of an intimacy coordinator.
