To act as a foil to Suletta, showing why Miorine was wrong to embark on her journey of being a hard woman making hard decisions.
Miorine's S1 and early S2 character arc is about her turning into her dad: supremely confident in her own abilities, feeling responsible for the world, willing to alienate and hurt her loved ones for their own good. When Suletta appears unreliable, she tries to have one talk with her and when it doesn't go well, she casts her and Earth House aside.
Instead, she picks as her partner someone she loathes, but who has access to resources she'll need in her campaign. This is a bit of a disaster: despite saying he doesn't trust her to handle the negotiations, he leaves her alone to deal with his own stuff and she has to draw emotional strength from the dumb PV (his side quest revealing Shaddiq is pure dumb luck). During the negotiations, it soon emerges Miorine doesn't actually know what the Earthians' lives are like (if only she knew some!) and they don't want her technocratic solutions, but showing off her friendship with the Earth kids she has just alienated impresses them.
The operation to arrest Shaddiq goes to hell. Maybe it was always going to end badly, but Guel certainly doesn't help by being a hothead and ignoring the professional's instructions. In the aftermath, Guel is incapable of supporting Miorine or doing much of anything except await his fate. Contrast this to Suletta, who's digging up bodies with her bare hands, helps the survivors and finally saves Miorine.
It's not that Guel's a bad guy (he takes Shaddiq alive and is loyal to Suletta and Miorine), but he doesn't have what it takes to stand by Miorine's side, and that's why he's prominent in S2, to suck and make Suletta's good qualities shine more.
