Guru is the third bodyguard of Titan, met in Act VII: Chapter 3. Like all other bodyguards of Titan, he is the evil counterpart of Shadow from another dimension. In that dimension, he was not strong enough to resist the pull of Shadow Energy and ended up getting corrupted by it. After Butcher's defeat, he becomes the new "messiah" for his gang, leading the children on a path of death and bloodshed.
Guru is an arrogant opponent, but is impressed by the fact that Shadow does not fear him. He tempts him with promises of leading nations together and reveals how, if only Shadow had been a little "braver," he could have amassed a legion of faithful followers as people had already began to worship him. He also boasts that Butcher's children now follow and look up to him.
After his defeat, he asks Shadow to reconsider his decision of fighting Titan, saying that they could become the heads of a great family of devoted followers together.
