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 is mysterious, especially his ability to speak to animals and beasts, however, his backstory was expanded in the novelization. Since his lack of social skills make him a silent character, he takes a very small role in the plot.

Story
Guy was abandoned by his biological family in the wild, and was found and raised by a beast named Mauza until the age of ten. After that, Guy was taken in by Firion and his adoptive family and taught the ways of human society; this is probably the reason 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.

Guy flees from Fynn alongside Firion, Maria, and Leon after it is attacked by the Palamecian Empire. After being attacked by Palamecian knights, he wakes up alongside Maria at Altair and then follows Firion on his fight against the empire with Maria, never splitting up. In one special episode, Guy speaks with a Beaver at Snow Cave in order to know the location of the Goddess's Bell.

After the resurrection of The Emperor, Firion, Maria, Guy, and Leon are reunited again, but are separated after the Hell Emperor is defeated at Pandaemonium, as Leon feels uneasy about his deeds.

Stats and Traits
Guy's starting equipment is an axe and leather armor. Out of the three starting characters, Guy has the most Strength and HP, suited for a Warrior, and with his high Stamina his HP will grow quicker than Firion or Maria. His magic stats are on par with Firion's but lower than Maria's, and he has the least Agility so he will likely take his turn last among the party. If the player wants to give him magic, spells like Haste, Protect, and Shell are good ideas, as they are buffing spells unaffected by low Spirit or Intelligence, which Guy will likely have if the player focuses on his physical attributes.

Trivia

 * In Final Fantasy IX, there is a man named Guy in Lindblum.
 * Guy makes a cameo in Dissidia Final Fantasy as a tutor from the in-game manuals and still talks with a simple dialect.
