Richard Guyot (last name pronounced "Ge-yo") is a character in Guyver.

History

Bio-Booster Armor

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.

Background

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.
