Gala

Gala, also known as the Lulusathian Judge is a minor character in Final Fantasy Type-0, although he is a key figure in the game's backstory.

Story
Gala is a fal'Cie and servant of the deity Lindzei. Together with Arecia Al-Rashia, he oversees the experiment to find Etro's Gate in which the land of Orience plays a vital part. His role is to arrive when the balance in Orience is disrupted and one nation dominates the rest: if this happens, he will proceed to set his Lulusath Warriors on the population in an effort to create a flood of souls and force Etro's Gate to open. At this time, Gala also chose a host to become the l'Cie Arbiter of Lulusath, who would instigate Finis and collect the phantoma of the twelve members of Class Zero in preparation for the next repeat of the cycle. This cycle of war, destruction and resurrection has been repeated 600,104,971 times. Each preceding time, Class Zero, Arecia's chosen instruments for opening Etro's Gate, became l'Cie to fight the Lulusath Army, dying in the process. The l'Cie Arbiter absorbs their phantoma, the world resets and events repeat themselves.

At the time of Type-0, the 600,104,972nd repeat of the experiment, Gala takes on the guise of the leader of the Milites Empire to observe events in Orience. After disappearing without explanation, Cid Aulstyne takes charge of the Empire, and ends up starting a war between the nations, intending to take control of the nations' four crystals and breaking the control of the gods. When the Dominion of Rubrum ends up dominating the whole of Orience in the aftermath of the unleashing of the Eidolon Alexander, Gala releases the Lulusath Army, although he is later convinced into calling them off by Arecia after Class Zero choses not to become l'Cie, changing the course of events. When Cid arrives in the Palace of All Magic, Gala meets with him and tells Cid his fate to become the l'Cie Arbiter. Cid kills himself in a vein attempt to prevent this, and his body is possessed by Gala. During the final battle with Class Zero, the l'Cie Arbiter is destroyed, with the twelve members absorbing his phantoma at the cost of their lives and stalling Finis. Gala's ultimate fate is left unknown.
