Character Batch 002

Character Guides Batch 002 — Background Cast

The four supporting flashback figures: Dr. Lokken, François Leclerc, Dimitri Komorov, Dr. Irina Petrova. All have sparse physical description in available sources; we lock professional-archetype-plus-nationality visual specs and apply them consistently.

Files in this batch

Cross-character visual rules

  • All four are flashback / background figures. None of them are likely to be a chapter image's primary subject (Petrova may be the closest, in Ch. 2's news-TV cameo).
  • They share the book's flashback color register: warmer, more naturalistic colors than the present-day shipboard scenes, but still composed within the gold-on-black overall voice (gold marks bleed through where appropriate).
  • Render them as professional, plausible, and visually coded by nationality — Norwegian Lokken, French Leclerc, Russian Komorov, Russian Petrova. Don't lean into stereotype; lean into "senior career scientist / engineer."

Confidence summary

  • All four: low for face/clothing specifics. Medium for role, personality, and professional context.
  • Petrova in particular is most often best rendered as a pixelated face on a screen rather than a foreground portrait.
