Guy

Guy, also known as Gus, is one of Firion's two permanent allies in Final Fantasy II, the other being Maria. Guy has the ability to talk to/understand beavers. He is a friend of the other party members, especially with Firion but his past remains a mystery, as is how exactly he is able to communicate with animals.

An explanation is presented in the game's Japanese novelization, wherein he had been abandoned in the wild and then raised by a beast named Mauza until the age of ten. After that, Guy was taken in by Firion and his adopted family and taught the ways of human society, probably for this reason is why Firion is Guy's best friend. He remains pure of heart and talks in a simple and childish dialect, however he is an invaluable asset to the party thanks to his great physical strength.

Stats and Traits
Guy's starting equipment is an axe and leather armor. Out of the three starting characters, Guy has the most Strength, HP, and Stamina, suited for a Warrior. If the player wants to give him magic, magics like Haste, Protect or Shell are very good ideas. Another good strategy would be train him with an Axe, a Shield, and White Magic to support your characters in low HP and be a strong physical attacker.

Trivia

 * In Final Fantasy IX, there is a man named Gus in Lindblum.
 * Guy makes a cameo in Dissidia Final Fantasy as a tutor from the in-game manuals.
