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 into 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 briefly leaving 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]] revelead that he was the "rising star" of the Magic Guild, but Guile scoffed at his invitation to work magic shows, 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. | 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.

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 paralelled his role in [[Radical Dreamers]] as the mysterious magician [[Magil]]. However, as more and more characters were added to the game, the developers felt that it would have been too difficult to represent Magus's 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 lighthearted bet with the Fortune Teller. | 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]].

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]]. 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. | |||
