As soon as he graduated high school, Guile joined the United States military and was inducted into the Green Berets. After years of intense Special Forces training, he and his buddy Charlie were sent on a secret mission into Thailand to incite rebellion against the dictator M. Bison. Guile and Charlie were betrayed by their own command and captured by Bison's troops.
The next few months are etched forever in Guile's mind. He and Charlie languished in Bison's prison and were tortured every day, often solely to humor the mad dictator. It was not enough for Bison to break their bodies; he wanted to break their spirits.
In the end, Charlie collapsed under the terrible strain of the torture. Guile remembers Bison standing over Charlie's body as it went through seizures. Bison clasped Charlie's head in his hands and seemed to suck the life force from him. Bison laughed as Charlie's body drew its final breath.
Guile was thrown back in his cell, but after witnessing his partner's death, Guile knew he must escape. Like a cornered rat who must fight or die, Guile used his natural cunning and what strength was left in his body to escape Bison's prison. After a long chase through the jungle, Guile finally eluded his captors and made his way to a rendezvous point, where he was airlifted back to safe ground.
Guile spent the next several years recuperating his strength at an airbase in the Southeastern U.S. During this time he hones his fighting skills and also learned to pilot military fighter jets.
Guile's superiors immediately recognized that the soldier's piloting ability nearly matched his hand-to-hand fighting ability. They enrolled him in some test-piloting operations.
During one of these test flights, the experimental supersonic jet Guile was flying began to experience severe malfunctions. The jet was supposed to send sonic vibrations into the pilot's body to counteract the turbulence of the supersonic flight, giving the pilot a smooth ride at high speeds in tough winds, but the system malfunctioned and instead bombarded Guile with intense sonic vibrations. The jet crashed, but Guile was saved by an automatic ejection system.
For the second time in his life, Guile spent years recovering, this time from the damage the sonic energy had done to his body. But, as Nietzche said, "That which does not kill you only makes you stronger." Guile learned to focus the sonic energy that had become infused in his body. He has developed a devastating sonic energy attack, which he calls his "Sonic Boom."
Armed with his new sonic power and in the best fighting shape of his life, Guile began to take on all challengers in hand-to-hand combat at his airbase. No one could match Guile's speed and style, so when he heard about the Street Fighter competitions, Guile jumped at the chance to test his abilities further. He has since progressed to World Warrior rank. Some fighters believe Guile could even beat Ryu if there were ever another World Champion tournament. But Guile does not enter the Street Fighter competitions for a shot at the championship; he enters because he has learned that M. Bison is involved. Guile will stop at nothing to avenge Charlie's death.
Playing Guile: Okay, so you've got a bit of an attitude, so what? You've been through the worst combat missions and test flights the world has to offer, and you're still in one piece. The military is still your home, but they don't own you; in fact, your superiors are glad to have your talents working for them. Of course, you're still patriotic to your country and loyal to your uniform, but you'd sure like to find out who betrayed you and Charlie all those years ago.
Fighting is an adrenaline release for you. It's the only thing you've found that comes close to screaming across the heavens at Mach 5. You fight for the thrill of it and for the glory of winning.
Appearance: Guile wears the same uniform he wore during his days in the Special Forces. He wears two sets of dog tags: his and Charlie's. He keeps his blond hair much longer than the military norm and is fond of styling it and flexing his physique after thrashing an opponent.
