The Guerrillas of Destiny (or [[FunWithAcronyms G.o.D]]) are a {{professional wrestling}} {{tag team}} consisting of adoptive brothers[[labelnote:*]]and biological cousins[[/labelnote]] Alipate Aloisio "Pate" Leone (born on October 15, 1982) and Tevita Tu'amoeloa Fetaiakimoeata "T" Fifita (born on May 7, 1983), currently performing for Wrestling/{{WWE}} under the ring names Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa. Alipate, along with his little brother Taula, were both adopted by their uncle and Tevita's father, the infamous [[Wrestling/{{Meng}} Tonga Fifita]], otherwise known as Meng or King Haku. While Haku tried to dissuade his boys from getting into wrestling, causing both Pate and T to go through secondary education, the two brothers gravitated to the business anyway, receiving training from their father in addition to none other than Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys at the Team 3D Wrestling Academy before making their debut as a team under the name "Sons of Tonga", with Pate as Kava and Tevita as Nuku.

Eventually the two separated after gaining the interest of different companies. T was picked up by Wrestling/{{WWE}} and sent to its developmental system under the name Donny Marlow, before later emerging on Wrestling/WWESmackDown as Mexican wrestler Wrestling/{{Hunico}}'s bodyguard Camacho, in a rather uneventful stint before he left the company. Later, he would join [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]] as part of [[Wrestling/DrewMcIntyre Drew Galloway]]'s revolution faction The Rising under the name Mica, before the stable disbanded and he was left with not much else to do before again being released. Pate, however, was picked up by New Japan and sent to the NJPW dojo as a young boy. As a NJPW wrestler, he took on the name Tama Tonga, eventually becoming the personal young boy of his good friend Wrestling/KarlAnderson, before joining Anderson and others in creating the infamous stable known as Wrestling/BulletClub.

After several years as two of BC's most prominent players, they were transitioned out of the group into a babyface role to build a feud with Wrestling/JayWhite.

During this, this time, Tama became a 2-time 3-time NEVER Openweight Champion, the first singles title runs in his career.

* PowerStable: A not-insignificant part of the power of Bullet Club. Well, at least until they got the boot. But that just allowed them to turn G.O.D. into [[StartMyOwn their own stable]]. While affiliated with all the Hontai guys, with Tanahashi, Taguchi, and Master Wato serving as frequent tag partners, their actual stable members for the first year have kept strictly to fellow babyface Bullet Club exiles; manager Jado, younger brother Hikuleo, and eventually El Phantasmo.



** The brothers' loyalty to Bullet Club would be subverted and then obliterated in 2022, but their loyalty to one another along with mentor Jado only became more entrenched. From the autumn of 2021 into 2022, Tama was one of several members who became frustrated with Jay White's utter lack of presence in Japan compared to the rest of the group's foreigners, so much so that after beating Wrestling/KazuchikaOkada one-on-one in the G1 Climax, he began to suggest that he would be the captain going forward if Jay didn't start showing up. Come February 2022, G.O.D. joining Jay White and his new recruit Chris Bey on a tour of Wrestling/ImpactWrestling turned out to be Jay's opportunity to strike at Tama, costing them a chance to defeat The Good Brothers for the Impact World Tag Team Championship and trading out the Tongan duo to bring Anderson and Gallows back to BC. Upon returning to Japan in the New Japan Cup tournament the following month, everyone except Jado and T chose to attack Tama during his match with EVIL, excommunicating G.O.D. on Jay's orders. While KENTA and BigLittleBrother Hikuleo were not involved in this attack, Tama has outright rejected KENTA as disloyal due to his teasing of both sides on social media, while Hikuleo later affirmed his allegiance to Jay's side in Bullet Club after a failed challenge in April. Tama has since rekindled his prior bond with Wrestling/HiroshiTanahashi from back when he was Tana's young boy, with Jado and T both adjusting to becoming good guys alongside him.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. As Camacho, T was more or less billed as Mexican through a character backstory with Wrestling/{{Hunico}} as [[LowerClassLout a street thug from Juarez]], but he never explicitly said he was, it was simply taken for granted. As Mica, his background went unmentioned for a week before he revealed himself as the son of Haku.
