Guy Brooks

Guy Brooks was the son of Tia Brooks and Landan Brooks. He was a result of the infamous affair between Tia and her husband Kian's father Landan.
== Upbringing ==
Guy was born very shortly after Tia had been thrown out of the Brooks house, now living with Tia's cousin Hale and his family. Guy was raised along with some second cousins who he bonded with but always wondered about his paternity. Eventually, Tia told Guy the truth about his parentage and he shunned her, believing her to be a liar and a cheat. Eventually, however, the mother and son bond proved too strong and they grew closer.
== The Fire ==
The house grew over-crowded and Tia had to search for another place to stay. When her friend Sally invited her to live in San Myshuno, Guy and Tia moved there into the original Rockwell apartment. Guy befriended the Rockwells and also housemate Silas Morrow. After some time, Guy was cooking when he accidentally started a fire. It spread quickly and Guy was caught in the scolding flames. The housemates rushed to Guy's aid and Tia managed to extinguish the flames, merely saving Guy's life. Guy was devastated to learn he would be left with permanent facial scars from the accident. He struggled to accept this for some time and fell both depressed and often on edge due to PTSD. He developed severe insomnia and hit an all time low when this worsened from witnessing Marcia Morrow's death of old age. Through time, however, Guy came to accept his scars and embraced them, deciding to choose happiness over dwelling on the past. Around this time Guy's estranged half-sister Audra moved in with her husband Armando and bonded with Guy.
== Father-Son Reunion ==
Guy was unsure what to do when his estranged father Landon began to reach out through phone. Guy did not respond and tried to tell Tia, but she was otherwise occupied. Eventually, Tia discovered the truth and urged Guy to ignore any contact. Landon later managed to worm his way into the apartment but struggled to bond with Guy, who wanted Landon to leave. Eventually, however, the two began to socialise and develop something of a bond - Guy was keen to make the relationship work and fill the hole of the missing father in his life. Tragically, just as they began to build bridges, Landon died of old age right next to Guy, who watched in horror and devastation.
== A New Stepfather and Meeting Cassie ==
Guy struggled in his grief and always wished he had more time with his late father Landon. He began to resent Tia for getting romantically involved with Tristan Morrow, whose wife Marcia had only recently died. However, Guy was able to find peace through time and accepted Tristan as his new stepfather. Struggling to manage his grief over his sister, Ethan kicked Tia, Tristan, Audra and Guy out, forcing them to move into a smaller apartment nearby, and so Guy joined them. It was here when Guy met Cassie Wilburn, and quickly fell in love with her. The two got married and Cassie moved in, before falling pregnant and giving birth to Amelia Brooks. Guy and Cassie had frequent fights, and Guy would sometimes become paranoid that Cassie still had feelings for India Landgraab, her ex-girlfriend. Guy hoped that another child would save their marriage, and Cassie later gave birth to Benny Brooks.
== Cassie's Affair ==
As Guy continued in his business career, he struggled with the monotony of raising his family. Guy was later heartbroken when Tristan and Tia died of old age. Over time Guy noticed that he and Cassie had suffered a huge rift, and he suspected Cassie was cheating. Eventually, she confessed the truth that she had been having an affair with India. Guy was furious and made his decision very quickly to leave for Sulani, with the kids left in Cassie's care. Around this time Amelia had married Tommy Rockwell and given birth to Guy's first grandchild Amani.
== Reuniting with Cassie ==
After many years of working in Sulani, Guy got back in contact with Cassie, who was now living in Hound's Head, Brindleton Bay, in a relationship with India. Cassie admitted she had drifted from India over the years and the two began to bond again. Before long, Guy had travelled to Hound's Head and embarked on an affair with Cassie. India caught the two in the act and was infuriated, kicking Guy out and breaking up with Cassie.
== Cassie's Death and Meeting Mallory ==
Guy and Cassie got back together and raised the Brooks family in their San Myshuno apartment, until Cassie sadly died of old age. As Amelia had given birth to Ryder Rockwell, Benny Brooks married Kourtney Sanders and moved to Sulani to live with her family. Guy decided to move in temporarily and befriended Kourtney's parents Camryn and Holly Sanders. It was there where Guy would meet Mallory Sanders, Camyrn's aunt, who would frequent visit. The two quickly sparked a passionate love affair in secret, and Mallory would often visit under false pretences, so that in reality, she could see Guy. Eventually, the house found out about their affair, sparking mixed feelings for Benny. After Kourtney gave birth to Devante Brooks, tension arose when Kourtney suspected Benny of infidelity, causing Camyrn to threaten Benny. Guy was shocked when Kourtney disappeared with Devante, kidnapping his grandchild and leaving without a trace. The family were devastated but Camryn advised them to move out so that Kourtney would be more likely to return. Guy decided to move in with Mallory at Bedlington Boathouse, marrying her as Benny moved in too. Around this time, Mallory's daughter tragically died of natural causes, breaking Mallory's heart and forcing Guy to step in to comfort her. Guy became distant from Amelia and proved to be quite a weak father to Benny. Mallory's erratic behaviour brought out the same in Guy, causing the two to act childishly.
== Adopting Beatrix Brooks ==
As Mallory began dabbling in drugs, Guy decided to accompany her sometimes. The two decided they wanted a child together, but since they were far too old, they made the reckless decision of adopting Beatrix Brooks. This was hugely controversial for Guy and Mallory's families seeing as they were fairly close to the end of their lives, and Benny was angered that he would have to look after Beatrix when their time would come. The family were thrilled when Kourtney anonymously handed Devante to the Brooks family in Bedlington Boathouse. This attracted the attention of Camyrn and Holly, who were determined to bond with their grandson, but Guy was pleased to have full custody of him at Bedlington Boathouse. 
== Nearing the End of Life ==
When Mallory's granddaughter Nora Landgraab moved in after a scandal which involved her kidnapping Dinah Markham, Benny expressed concern that Nora was mentally insane and may kidnap Beatrix to fill Dinah's space. Guy eventually became concerned two and clashed with Mallory over Nora's staying in the house. The family were shocked when Nora spontaneously adopted a child named Janelle Landgraab and ran away with her, never to be seen again. Around this time Guy decided his business career had consumed too much of his life, and he happily retired. When Kourtney Brooks began contacting Devante, Benny initiated a scheme that had Kourtney arrested by police. This caused huge tension in the household and Devante moved away to live with Fabien Rockwell. Guy had to visit Devante in the original Rockwell apartment to convince him to come home, and Guy reminisced over his time living in the same apartment. Guy was pleased when Devante finally moved back in. Sadly, Mallory reached the end of her life and died of old age. Guy was completely heartbroken and died very shortly after.
