Brief Summary:
Slightly taller than the average human, he is moderately dressed in common garb. He is handsome, yet his overall appearance is quite mundane save for his striking gold eyes. He wears a headband, which his tawny hair spills over. He has a look as if he is about to grin.
-- --
Appearance:
He appears to be an average man. Nothing out of the ordinary. Gold eyes and lion blonde frame his pleasing features. He has an ornate tattoo of a lightning bolt on his left shoulder.
-- --
Greatest Strength:
He seems to know when the right time to move without being seen is.
-- --
Greatest Weakness:
He is sometimes tempted to act impulsively.

Distinguishing Features:
What makes him unique is his apparently paradoxical nature. While at times he would rather steal or kill for profit, he is also capable of sincere charity and empathy.

Details:
Guiles was born in the mountains of Xanacaza. His family were respected copper elves in their town. He was always given to mischief; although his antics were never malicious, they would often lead to more serious trouble than he intended.
Growing up playing among the twisting vines of the jungle mountains gave him opportunity to develop excellent balance, and a light step. 
While in a combat he prefers to fall into the shadows on order to make fast powerful strikes and retreat to fade back and attack again. In a group he will try to be utilitarian and also wait till an enemy shows weakness in order to make a killing blow. 
Guiles’s mindset is by its nature rather tactical, the problem is that he is also prone to daydreaming.
