Just a normal firemen for 10 years. Though these firemen are burning books instead of saving people from fires. Guy is just like every other fireman, loves fire, loves burning, and books mean nothing to him. He is married to his wife, Mildred. They live a fairly normal life. But when the story develops more and more, Guy starts to question why books are being burned. He has noticed how mindless everyone is and how carefree they are. I think the most important quote he said is, "does it have a happy ending." he really starts wondering about happiness and if he is happy after clarisse asks him if he is happy. As he is wondering that, he starts realizing how unhappy HE is. Eventually he starts stashing books away and then reading them to find out why they are so important to burn.
This is how guy is imagined on the cover of Fahrenheit 451/ He looks very serious and a little burnt from the flames on his cheeks.Although he looks very serious, he is just like every man. Clarisse says, "so many people are. Afraid of firemen, I mean. But you're just a man after all... In this quote Clarisse is stating how normal he is and that he is no different from everyone else.
