Guido's exposure to millions of years in transit from the Jurassic to the modern era exposed him to vast amounts of temporal radiation. While he didn't age, the fetal embryo did experience this time. Despite only being chronologically 3 years of age, Guido has vast intelligence, partially due to the Deep Time he endured & partially due to mutation that synchronizes his fore & hind brain as a quantum singularity. If this connection is severed, most likely due to wounds on the spine, this ability is lost until the spinal damage heals. This is particularly relevant to his cockatiel-like feathered crest, which seems to attenuate the strange quantum energies associated with the anomalous intellect.
Having perceived portions of Time & Space beyond mortal ken, Guido is unusually afraid of the dark, & will avoid poorly lit areas.

It's funny how inspiration and knowledge can be gleaned from the beyond, especially when you are willing to carve the runes to do so into your skin. Each prana point represents the human psyche. The tree of life, parallel to the tree of knowledge of good and evil, contains the mysteries of the world that were denied to us when Eve ate that forbidden fruit and while augmented by the tree Gideon finds seeing through the enigma that is reality as simple as reading the information itself.
