Boy

The Boy is one of two main characters in The Last Guardian.

Summary
The Boy is the protagonist of The Last Guardian. It has been assumed by many players that he is somehow related to Ico and Wander, the heroes of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus respectively. This is assumed because many players hold a theory that the games are intricately connected, and that the protagonists are part of a single lineage cursed from the events of Shadow of the Colossus. He is covered in tattoos that seem to be in tribal shapes, mirroring the Maori and Samoan people.

Exactly why the Boy is in the stone complex is unknown, though it is known that this is when Trico first encounters the Boy. The Boy seems to be running away from the Armored Knights for some reason. Many players think that the knights are chasing the Boy for the same reason they captured Ico - the curse that was given to the family lineage from Wander is likely affecting the Boy, and thus the village. This is conjecture, however, as this has neither been confirmed nor denied.

History
Because everything we know about the Boy is tied to Trico, their history is pretty identical. The first leaks of Trico and the Boy were shown in the months leading up to the 2009 E3 reveal. During E3, the footage showed Trico and the Boy interacting, along with some released screenshots to pair with it. The Boy was a playable character in the Tokyo Game Show 2015 gameplay demo.

Name Meaning
The Boy has no name. This section will be updated as more data is unveiled.
