Origin

Guile is one of the original eight playable characters from Street Fighter II: The World Warrior. He would go on to appear in every iteration of Street Fighter II, as well as Street Fighter Alpha 3, all incarnations of Street Fighter IV, and as part of the first wave of DLC for Street Fighter V.

Guile hails from the United States of America, and is a major in the United States Air Force. Guile learned to fight from his best friend Charlie Nash, who taught him moves such as the Flash Kick and the Sonic Boom. But because Guile has less focus and greater anger than Charlie, he is less effective at using these moves; his Flash Kick hits only once as opposed to Charlie's two, and he requires two hands to use a Sonic Boom, whereas Charlie only needs one. When Charlie went missing investigating the mysterious Shadaloo cartel, Guile swore to find his friend and bring him home. His search brought him into the path of Interpol agent Chun-Li who was also investigating a disappearance: that of her father. The two eventually discovered that Charlie had been kidnapped and brainwashed by Shadaloo's dictator M. Bison. Charlie broke free of his programming and rescued Guile and Chun-Li, seemingly at the cost of his own life. Guile swore vengeance on Bison and entered the second Street Fighter tournament to this end. Upon meeting Bison however, Guile was stopped by the arrival of his wife and daughter, who persuaded him to spare Bison and abandon revenge. For all his taunts of "Go home and be a family man!" Guile did just that. It was not to last, as he was not convinced that Charlie had perished. Going AWOL, Guile set out to prove once and for all whether Charlie was alive.

Guile is the second playable character to hail from the United States, the first being Ken. They are actually related by marriage. Ken's wife Eliza is the sister of Julia, Guile's wife, making the two brothers-in-law.
