Guin (Guin Saga)

Guin is the titular main protagonist of the acclaimed medieval fantasy book series Guin Saga by Kaoru Kurimoto, as well as its manga and anime adaptations. He is a mysterious warrior with a leopard head whose past is mostly unknown, even to himself. He is first encountered in the forest of Ruud by Remus and Rinda, the twin pearls of Parros and heirs to the throne. From this point on he becomes the guardian and protector of the twins, guiding them through many dangerous situations, all while slowly learning more about his origins and his purpose in destiny.
In the anime, he was voiced by Kenyuu Horiuchi in the original Japanese version, who also voiced Raiden in the Metal Gear franchise, and by David Wald in the English dub.
== Appearance ==
Guin is a very strong man, tall and imposing, who towers over most human warriors. He is normally seen wearing only a loincloth, exhibiting his great physique and huge muscles. The most striking aspect of Guin's appearance is his head, being that of a leopard. This is attributed to some sort of curse or enchantment that he must have suffered in the past, the reason of which he cannot remember. He is often mistaken for a being known as Syrenos, a half-man, half-beast godlike creature who seems to be connected to his origin and place in the course of fate.
== Personality ==
Guin is a noble warrior with a pure heart and a strong sense of honor. At the beginning of his journey he feels lost due to his amnesia, not knowing what kind of person he was or his purpose in the world. When he first awoke in the forest he showed a feral side, charging against the Mongaul soldiers with the ferocity of a leopard. It was after being approached and offered a helping hand by Remus and Rinda during a moment of vulnerability that his good nature came to surface, showing gratitude to the twins and displaying a great sense of chivalry underneath his fearsome appearance. He is loyal to Rinda and Remus and he remains sympathetic to their cause through the length of their journey, taking the role of a mentor and even a father figure to the two. Though he is often mistaken for a mindless brute based on his looks, Guin often surprises people with how well he handles himself both verbally and in combat.
