==Biography==
Serge first encounters '''Guile''' (アルフ, ''Alf'') contemplating his plans in a bar in Another Termina. Guile has made a bet with Termina's fortune-teller that he can bring back an item from Viper Manor. Thus, he will be glad to join Serge on his journey to Viper Manor to discover the intentions of the mysterious Lynx. Guile's strength with magic is very effective, especially in his Tech Skills. However, Guile's Element Grid is backwards from most other characters, with less Element spots for earlier levels, and more Element spots for later levels. As a result, Guile proves as a very powerful mage, especially at the end of the game.


{{nihongo|'''{{PAGENAME}}'''|アルフ|, Alf}} is a dashing, handsome, and enigmatic magician from the [[Zenan]] Mainland in {{CC}}.
When Serge is searching for a guide to Viper Manor, he may talk to Guile in the bar and he will be happy to join the party, as he has made a bet with the town fortune teller that he can retrieve an object from the Manor and come out alive. He is one of three possible guides to the Manor.


==Story==
Along with Kid and Harle, Guile is one of the few playable characters who does not appear in the parallel world. This does not confirm that there is no "other" Guile however, the magician Sneff from Home World recognizes Guile from Another World as being part of the Magic Guild, so it's likely that the character exists in both worlds.
A member of the mysterious [[Magic Guild]], he came to [[El Nido]] in search of mystery and curiosity; a friend of the [[Fortune Teller]] in [[Termina]], he soon learned of [[Viper Manor]] and its status as an impregnable fortress. Eager to disprove this myth, he entered a contest with the Fortune Teller; if he found a "Revive" Element, she would give him a [[Brass Rod]]. Otherwise, he would have to reveal his face to her. While preparing for his attempt, he met [[Serge]] and [[Kid]], who also planned to infiltrate the manor. Judging their usefulness, he decided to accompany them, and from that point on served as a member of the party (though he briefly left while Serge regained his body from [[Lynx]]).  


While on the quest, Guile displayed exceedingly refined and cultured behavior and speech, and also developed an Element Grid capable of using many advanced techniques. A visit with [[Sneff]] revealed that he was the "rising star" of the Magic Guild, but Guile scoffed at his invitation to perform stage-magic, noting that his only real interest was discovering the truth behind the enigmas of the world. To this end, he accompanied Serge until the final battle with the [[Time Devourer]]. He then faded into history; little else is known of him, as Guile is an enduring mystery of his own accord.
Though Guile himself does not appear in the Chrono Trigger Japanese-only sequel Radical Dreamers on Satellaview, a character named Gil, who has a much similar yet darker appearance appears. Kato also confirmed that Guile is not Magus nor Gil. In Chrono Cross, a copy of Serge's diary from the Radical Dreamers introduction can be found; in the English version, Gil is referred to as Magil.
 
During the planning stages of ''Chrono Cross'', Guile was intended to be [[Magus]] in disguise, accompanying Serge to learn the true fate of his sister [[Schala]]. This would have paralleled his role in {{RD|1}} as the mysterious magician [[Gil]]. However, as more and more characters were added to the game, the developers felt that it would have been too difficult to represent Magus' story well amongst the sea of other characters. Guile's backstory was removed, and he gained his own identity as a mystifying traveler. Guile is regardless the same as Magil in appearance and behavior -- fiercely handsome, interesting, intelligent, good-natured, eloquent, and prone to having a bit of fun. Guile especially excels at the last point in his frequent toasts to enigma and his lighthearted bet with the Fortune Teller.
 
In {{CTDS}}, one ending opens up the possibility that Magus is Guile. In this ending, a version of Magus from further in his own timeline is discovered fighting the [[Dream Devourer]], but he cannot harm it and free his sister, Schala. With her last conscious act, Schala tears open a portal through time and helps Magus escape. When he arrives on the other side, he has no memory of who he is or what he is doing, only that he has to find something very important to him. Like much in the story of ''Chrono Cross'' itself, this is left ambiguous to the player.

==Etymology==
==Quotes==
''Guile'', in English, means to deceitfully trick. Additionally, Guile appears to be a reference to [[Magus#Other_Appearances|Gil]] from {{RD|!}}.


His Japanese name, アルフ ''Arufu'' Alf/Alph, may be a reference to [[Janus]]' cat [[Alfador]] (known as アルファド ''Arufado'' Alfad/Alphard in Japanese).
