Dumb question. But I still don’t get who these people are. Did they send the gifts?

Yes. The woman-like creature with wings on her head is the sponsor. She seems to be a powerful person with a direct relation to the ruler of the new Earth. The black hair guy with a hat that attacked them in the snow is her bodyguard. He thought Mori was kidnapped so he attacked Rider. The rest are all servants of the house
At this point I kinda understand why his father wanted him to die instead of becoming rich people’s plaything
