==Summary==
Galenth Dysley (ガレンス・ダイスリー, Garensu Daisurī) (Mostly known as Barthandelus) is the main antagonist of Final Fantasy XIII. He is often seen with a rukh familiar called Menrva, actually an extension of his power. Voted into the position of Primarch by Cocoon's citizens, Dysley is the leading figure of the Sanctum.
While he appears to be a well-respected man of the people, promising their continued peace, this is a mask Dysley uses to hide his true nature.
