Like all fal'Cie, Galenth Dysley views humans as tools to achieve his ends and uses propagandistic charisma to cover it. He is also a ruthless nihilist in personality, as he told the FFXIII Cast his intent to kill everyone dear to them and later carried the deed out by shattering projections of the crystallized Serah and Dajh in front of their eyes. Ultimately, Dysley's goal was his own destruction, which he achieved by becoming a part of Orphan.
During the Dissidian Wars, he allied himself with fellow Chaos nihilists Kefka and Exdeath, while attempting to manipulate the Cosmos Warriors Lightning and Vanille to achieve his goal of surpassing Chaos and destroying the cycle of the Wars, seeking an end to everything.
Galenth's main attire is based upon his original game attire from Final Fantasy XIII. In EX Mode, Galenth gains aspects of his true form Barthandelus, having his face covered by Barthandelus' mask and ornaments, his demon claws added to hands and feet, and wing-like pauldrons to his shoulders.
His first alternative outfit 'Dark Priest' colours Galenth's Robes in blacks and whites (Reflecting traditional colours of a priest) and in EX Mode his Barthandelus Features are taken from the second Barthandelus fight.
His second alternative oufit 'Menrva's Protection' Galenth wears wing-like armour and a headpiece resembling his familiar Menrva's wings and face respectively. In EX Mode his Barthandelus Features are taken from the third Barthandelus fight.
His DLC outfit, 'Super-Pope' Galenth wears a costume resembling a papal figure - a crimson/purple frock and skullcap. In EX Mode his Features resemble Orphan instead.
His Manikin Fleeting Priest is Pink
Battle[]
As a Destructive Glider Galenth uses similar tactics to Kuja in that he is able to glide and also teleport while attacking. However, his attacks are geared towards weakening his opponent and then brutally attacking them. His attacks are more effective the further away they are, in this respect he acts as a powerful guard-breaker from a distance. He is also able to project a weak projective shield, but fails in that he is slow even when gliding, thus making it harder to avoid attacks.
