Meet the characters from High Card

Finn Oldman

Finn Oldman is that scrappy, too-friendly type who barrels into danger with a grin and then apologizes later. He’s a gambler by trade (or is it fate?) and somehow balances reckless instinct with a weirdly sharp moral compass. He hates strict rules but will organize his pocket change into perfect little stacks — go figure. Always fiddling with some token or card, equally likely to save the day or start a brawl, and you kind of love him for it.

Leo Constantine Pinochle

Leo is theatrical, loud, and utterly impossible to ignore — the living room lights dim when he walks in, somehow. He plays cards like he’s rewriting the rules of physics, flashes a grin, and convinces you that losing was part of the plan (or maybe that was just charm). Underneath all the glitter is a soft, ridiculous loyalty — he’ll ditch a score to help a friend, which honestly makes zero sense but also makes him great. Also: collects hotel soaps and insists on calling everyone by nicknames; sometimes allergic to his own sparkle (dramatic sneeze, maybe).

Chris Redgrave

Chris Redgrave is the calm, sharp-eyed anchor — cool, collected, and slightly terrifying when he decides to do anything at full throttle. He reads situations like books and moves with the kind of efficiency that makes paperwork blush, yet he hums old show tunes when he’s thinking. There’s a brooding edge to him, but it’s more like vintage leather than a tempest — dependable, with a secret habit of smiling at sad dogs. He dresses like a painting (seriously, his suits are dangerous) and will deny being dramatic with the kind of dignity that actually proves nothing.

Wendy Satou

Wendy Satou is equal parts sharp-as-a-knife operative and weirdly nurturing big sister, which is confusing in the best way. She can disarm a room with a look, then patch someone up with a bandage and unsolicited life advice — fierce but soft, you know? She obsesses over tiny systems (labelled first-aid kits) and yet is perpetually late, which is a crime in her own book. Also she hoards candy, leaves lipstick marks on paperwork for no reason, and probably has a secret cat named Bureaucracy.

Vijay Kumar Singh

Vijay Kumar Singh is the brainy engine room: tech-savvy, philosophical, and always three steps ahead — or so he tells you between bites. He speaks in peaceful proverbs one minute and delivers brutal practical realities the next, which is both comforting and mildly terrifying. His desk is a disaster but his notes are color-coded (I know, contradictory), and he will argue passionately about the aesthetics of circuit boards. Also loves extremely spicy food, knits tiny scarves for action figures, and has this habit of complimenting your shoes just before dropping the hardest truth.
