Guile is a dashing, handsome, enigmatic magician from the Zenan mainland. A member of the mysterious [[Magic Guild]], he came to [[El Nido]] in search of mystery and curiousity; a friend of the [[Fortune Teller]] in [[Termina]], he soon learned off [[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 [[White Elements|Revive]] Revive Element, she would give him a [[Bronze 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 manner. 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.

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 a dashing, handsome, enigmatic magician from the Zenan mainland. A member of the mysterious Magic Guild, he came to El Nido in search of mystery and curiousity; a friend of the Fortune Teller in Termina, he soon learned off Viper Manor and its status as an impregnable fortress.

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.

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.

 [Fortune Teller]
   Hahah...!
   Sir Guile,
   the deadline has
   already passed!
   
Guile:
   ...Ma'am, this time
   I have lost.
   I have found the item
   in question, though it
   was too late...

 [Fortune Teller]
   Grin...
   Sir Guile, how did it go?
   Did you find the item?

Guile:
   See for yourself, ma'am.
   Here is proof of my intrusion
   into Viper Manor.
   I ask that you give me
   my reward, as promised 
   at the conclusion of our bet.

 [Fortune Teller]
   Ummm...
   It is my loss this time.
   Here is the reward I promised.
   Take it away!

 [System]
   Guile received
   Bronze Rod!

Guile:
   ...Ma'am, I have
   lost this time.
   I was able to penetrate

 [Fortune Teller]
   Don't start whining!
   A promise is a promise.

Guile:
   Ma'am, I have learned that
   the world is full of
   '"enigma."'
   I will be joining their journey
   for a while. Take care, and we
   might engage in another high-
   stake gamble again.

 [Fortune Teller]
   You bet!
Guile:
   Is this what I have
   been searching for
   all this time...
   No...
   Stop it!
   I am no such thing.
   What good is it...
