Richard Guyot first appears after the death of Inspector Lisker, Guyver II after which he quickly takes control of Chronos Corporation's Japenese Branch from Director Genzo Makishima. He would arrive with the elite Hyperzoanoid Team 5 who served as his personal bodyguards. He allowed Genzo one more chance to redeem himself by capturing the Guyver which the Japanese Branch Director unvieled his branch's latest development, the Hyperzoanoid Zerbebeuth. Guyot was amused by this as Genzo was unaware that Hyperzoanoids had already been developed but allowed Makishima his chance which ultimately failed.

This was the last chance for Makishima and Guyot transformed him into a Guyver-Killer Zoanoid known as Enzyme. This creature destroyed Guyver I and stole his control medal which killed its host but not before attacking Enzyme. Seeing its purpose complete, Guyot telepathically detonated Enzyme which killed the dying host.

Anime

Richard Guyot was one of the last Zoalord's that was found by Dr Balcus and was optimized at the Chronos base in Arizona. At the time though he had learnt of the Guyver Units as well as their ability to increase the power of the host. His plans would be discovered by Professor Yamamura who led a team of proto-Zoalords, the test type bodies for Guyot's form, to slay the developing Zoalord in his Optimization tank. However, this failed when the other Zoalords intervened and Guyot's secret plans were still hidden.

After the merger of the three Guyver Units to three hosts, Guyot would travel to the Japanese Branch with his Hyperzoanoid bodyguard Zerbebeuth. After Genzo Makishima's failure in returning first Guyver Unit to Chronos, Guyot decided to transform the former Director into the Guyver-Killer Enzyme. Using this Zoanoid, he was successful in gaining Guyver I's control medal which he ordered back to base in order to analyse it. He was quite aware that the third Guyver was still active and was preparing an army of Guyver Killer Enzyme I's for the task. What he did not expect, however, was Guyver I's regeneration which caused havoc in his base while at the same time, Guyver III attacked the optimization chambers killing the Enzyme units. Seeing the destruction of the base at hand, Guyot attempted to flee and was confronted by the reborn Guyver I and his friend Tetsuro that Guyot had kidnapped.

On the rooftop of the Chronos Japanese branch HQ, Tetsuro demanded to know what Guyot meant about Humans being the basis of bioweapons for the Zoanoids. Guyot decided to answer and explained Humanitys origins as the creations of the Creators with Chronos's goal at fulfilling mankinds destiny and evolution. He was then confronted by the mysterious Guyver III to which an angry Guyot demanded to know who he was though the black Guyver simply said to be called "Zeus" which left the Chronos commander confused. Guyot attempted to flee in his helicopter which exploded due to device placed by Guyver III. It seemed that Guyot had met his end.

However, once Agito Makishima returned to his home, he found a perfectly healthy Guyot waiting for him. The Chronos Commander had survived the assassination attempt on his life and continued to lead his forces in the capture of the Guyvers now that Guyver II had been destroyed at the Japanese branch headquarters. He summoned the Lost Unit to serve as his bodyguards while he tasked Agito with the capture of Guyver I's family. While at the Makishima home, Guyot came under attack by Guyver III which led to a fight between the two. Attempting to crush Guyot, Guyver III quickly realized that the Chronos Commander was matching him in strength which highlighted his non-Human origins. Guyver III was forced to retreat when the Lost Unit came to save their Commander. Guyot tasked the three commandoes to capture Guyver I though this was only a distraction to allow Richard to capture Guyver I's family and friends.

With Guyver I's friends and father captured, the group were placed within Relic's Point where they were part of a plan to ambush Sho. Furthermore, Guyot summoned Agito Makishima to the base and once out of sight, he transformed into Guyver III to free Sho's friends. But this was all part of a trap made by Guyot and Hamilcar Balcus with the former suspecting Agito of being the Guyver III. The trap was sprung when Guyver III took Sho's father and friends into the underground tunnels where they were ambushed by the Hyperzoanoid Team 5. Despite his prowess, he was overwhelmed by the enhanced Zoanoids and was almost killed until Guyver I arrived and managed to get them to escape. Though the trap failed. the Hyperzoanoids managed to recapture Sho's father. Guyot then bore witness to Balcus's attempt at turning Sho's father into a secret Hyperzoanoid based on Enzyme. When the two Guyvers attacked Relic's Point to recover Sho's dad, they were ambushed by half of the Hyperzoanoid Team 5 while the other half were dispatched to one of the Makishima hideouts nearby where their friends were. Enzyme was also activated and the father battled the son until Guyver I was damaged leaving him unconscious and the Unit itself taking control of his actions leading to his fathers death. Balcus's forces also failed to capture the Guyvers friends due to the intervention of a mysterious individual who displayed Zoalord level abilities.

Guyot then became aware that the individual was one of the test type Zoalords used to perfect his own body and that the individual knew Richards plot in attaining ultimate power by capturing one of the Guyver Units. Rather then risk being discovered, Guyot decided to intervene himself. Taking three Enzymes rushed from their Optimization, Guyot attacked and nearly effortlessly defeated Guyver III and the Proto-Zoalord Mister Murakami, destroying one of the Zoalords arms in the process. Though the Enzymes managed to iverwhelm Guyver III, they began to die in mid-combat as the rushed nature of their Optimization meant that their mutations were unstable. This provided the distraction for Mister Murakami to blind Guyot temporarily while Guyver III used his megasmasher on him - seemingly killing the Chronos Commander. However, Richard managed to survive though he was injured but this simply fueled his anger as he decided to unleash his full power where he created a powerful gravity attack that ripped apart the mountain battlefield they were which seemed to have killed Guyots enemies. But the strain of the attack was too much on his body and he reverted back to his Human form, unconscious whilst a Chronos team were dispatched to recover him.

Background

Richard Guyot in his Zoalord form.

Richard Guyot is the last of the mighty Zoalords and holds the rank of Commander of Chronos. He appears as a tall blond haired man with unusual eyes with a somewhat darker skin. He always wears a suit when not in combat amd as part of a Zoalords powers; he has powerful telepathic abilities that allows him to control Zoanoids. He also possesses a great deal of strength even in his Human form, one that can match strength with a Guyver unit as seen in his struggle against Guyver III during Agito Makishima's surprise attack on him.

In battle, Guyot wears specially designed armor that clings to him during his transformation into his monstrous Zoalord visage. In this form, he has far greater powers and is easily able to overpower the Proto-Zoalord Murakami. Its shown that Guyot's powers are gravity based in nature and has shown the power to shoot Gravity Bullets from his fingers which, even at 25% power, can leave horrible injuries on his enemies as evidenced on Mr Murakami. He also possesses a type of energy barrier that protects him from attacks and even managed to survive a Guyver megasmasher attack despite being partially blinded by Mr Murakami. In his angered state, he revealed one of his more powerful attacks known as a Gravity Crusher which sends a devastating energy blast that can rip apart a mountain with ease though this weakens him and forces Guyot to return to his Human state; unconscious. Later, during the anime, he shows perhaps his most dangerous ability which allows him to create a blackhole, however, this is risky to accomplish as he can easily lose control of the projected singularity.

Guyot is known to firmly believe in the view of the Chronos Corporation's "evolution" of the Human race so that they become the true inheritors of the world as intended by the Creators. This is partially because he wishes to rule the conquered Earth as a god. Though this view is shared by his comrades, Guyot possesses a hidden agenda which is to become the sole ruler of the Earth. Early in his history, he learnt of the Guyver units and believed that if he could merge with such units then he would become the most powerful being in the planet. After the units were bonded, he made attempts to separate one from its host and had a hidden Unit Remover in his possession. When he learnt of Mr Murakami and that the proto-Zoalord knew of his plans, he made active steps to silence him but by doing so he learnt that he revealed his intentions to his fellow Zoalords especially Dr Balcus who was near him and had his own suspicions. This culminated in his open revolt against Alkanphel but this failed and Guyot was defeated.

Guyot has shown a high level of hatred against two characters within the show namely Agito Makishima for betraying him as well as the Chronos Corporation and Mr Murakami.
