Biography[]
Background[]
Guile is a former Special Operation Forces teammate who is currently a major rank in the United States Air Force whose goal is to finish the criminal organization Shadaloo. Guile eventually uncovered that the head of Shadaloo was the dictator in Thailand, M. Bison. In order to take the fight to Bison without needing to worry about treaties, declarations of war, or US implication, Guile entered into an international contest called the World Martial Arts Tournament.
The tournament was set up as an exotic sports competition, Guile entered under the excuse he was entering as a private combatant, in truth he intended to interrogate his way through Shadaloo as all of Bison's lieutenants had also entered and he could legally use force to find out what he needed to about Bison and Shadaloo without it being illegal or implicating the US. Guile's primary targets were the boxer, Balrog, the Matador/assassin, Vega, and the professional fighter, Sagat.
Though Guile needed to beat-up several other innocents who entered the tournament for prize money, Guile's primary target was always the Shadaloo members.
Story[]
An all-American Air Force major who has sworn revenge on Bison for the death of his friend Charlie (as later seen in the Alphaseries), and almost succeeds in Street Fighter II until his wife Jane and daughter Amy arrive and convince him to stop. He spares Bison and goes home to live a life away from fighting... until IV when Shadaloo rears its ugly head again and he's sent in to investigate S.I.N. He has really big hair, which he apparently maintains via a military-order hairspray. His wife Jane is Eliza's sister, making him and Ken in-laws, but they don't really like each other very much. In V he's still hunting down Shadaloo, now accompanied by Abel. He returns in 6 to chase a new mission, despite having settled down into family life, sporting a new look based on a US Airforce flight suit.
Personality[]
Guile is a tough man, both physically and mentally, who takes pride in family, and is a loving husband and father to his family. Although not shown, this care and concern also extends to his in-laws, like with Ken.
A stoic man at heart, Guile's calm and emotionless exterior actually hides intense feelings, especially his fury after Charlie's death. Although loyal to the Air Force and the United States, Guile is extremely persistent. He always seeks to get the bottom of the matter, especially concerning M. Bison, Shadaloo, and what happened with Charlie Nash, which has led to problems with his superiors. Despite this they have high respect and esteem for him. His persistence has also caused pain to his family, which hurts him deeply.
In Street Fighter V, Guile is shown to be a stoic and very focused person, always giving advice to others including Abel about recklessness, bravery and the will to survive the battlefield. He is also seen to be happy when he and Charlie are having a sparring match after both end up in a draw. However, during the game's story, his friendship with Charlie was damaged when Guile was overpowered by Charlie in a fight. Throughout A Shadow Falls, his friendship with Charlie was rekindled after rescuing him and Rashid from Necalli and returning the dog-tag necklace back to him. However, in the final assault against Shadaloo, Guile became very sad and concern over Charlie's sacrifice. Following the incident, Guile also gives Luke a high regard when they spar each other within the latter's character story and also respects the latter's decision to quit the military.
Powers and Abilities[]

| ~ Guile |
Guile is substantially strong, even for a member of the military. He is an expert in a street fighting art that fuses Kickboxing and Wrestling and has even received training for Chi manipulation. Though his military training has kept him from harnessing the same malleability of Chi as Bison, or other World Martial Arts Tournament members such as Ken or Ryu, what he can do is still more than enough to accent his martial fighting style. Guile's signature Chi move is the "Sonic Boom", where Guile dispels Chi blast from his arms at such speeds, the force seems to strike before his arms do. The Sonic Boom is a medium range move, though over the years Guile has been able to augment it through increased Chi training.
