Guard #1 – A simple prison guard who is protecting Dr. Miller while on duty and is trying to be silent while Trowbowski enjoys his last meal.

Guard #2 – Cathers to Trowbowski’s needs during his final hours as she acts as somewhat as Trowbowski’s personal servant. Unless she’s needed for something, she remains silent and stands next to Guard #1.
