Ah, you're back again. I have some important information for you."

Cunning like a fox and as slimy as a toad, Guy Forcas is a wicked Saboteur always in thirst for knowledge. He has enough blackmail on everyone to take them down. However, his cover is very submissive, and he is "willing" to do anything for anyone. Watch your back or he will take you down from the inside out. He will focus on gaining dominance through the military (or in the addon, through sabotage). (+150 difficulty).[1]

He is probably a reference to Guy Fawkes, who attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London. Aptly, "forca" means "gallows" in various European languages.
