During No Man"s Land, Bruce Wayne mentioned Theo Galavan alongside Ra"s al Ghul as examples for people who caused mayhem in Gotham đô thị because of him.

Personality

Theo Galavan was a very charismatic individual, able to present himself as a selfless benefactor, anh hùng and mentor to the Maniax and Gotham City. He equates his hostile takeover of the thành phố as a stage & everyone working under him, Jerome, Barbara & even Tabitha as stagehands for his own designs and is willing to lớn sacrifice any of them for the collective greater good. In reality Galavan was a cunning mastermind whose charitable & benevolent acts were only illusions to lớn his true, villainous and depraved nature.

Since the Waynes" desecrated his family name và destroyed the legacy of Dumas, Galavan took it upon himself khổng lồ rectify the misdeeds made against his ancestors & avenge them in their name, which he seems lớn believe is righteous justice. This relentless drive has turned him into an utter psychopath as Tabitha notes that he was a much different person before he was discovered by the monks it St. Dumas. Galavan follows his family ways to lớn a degree of almost sheer fanaticism. He would spare no resource or means to kết thúc the Waynes" the exact same they did to lớn the Dumas" from possessing the exact same knife that Caleb"s hand was cut with khổng lồ slice Bruce Wayne"s throat.

Ironically, for someone who is devoted to lớn his family (more specifically regaining their former glory), Galavan actually cares very little for his family in a personal sense, more accurately his current one; his sister và niece. Though Galavan was said khổng lồ be kind to Tabitha once and allowed her to have her fun, initially at the first stages of his plans as they progressed, he began finding her juvenile attitude irksome & as her impulsiveness threatened his grander schemes, threatened her with death. Though he did plan to lớn escape Gotham thành phố with her, Tabitha had finally had enough of her abusive brother & abandoned him in the hands of Gordon. With Silver, she was only a tool khổng lồ Galavan to lớn use lớn manipulate Bruce Wayne into surrendering and wilfully gave her the impossible task of getting Bruce to lớn fall in love with her again otherwise he would kill her for Silver"s compassion towards Bruce. Though seemingly pleased when she succeeded, Galavan would have strangled her for protesting the ceremony.

With most of the Maniax, Galavan utilized them as tools lớn plunge Gotham into further anarchy so he could rebuild the city but with Jerome, took a more inspirational figure và mentor lớn manipulate him. Though Jerome seemed lớn respect Galavan for promising to turn him into a star, he was very shocked when he was stabbed in the neck by the latter, although he was apologetic for doing so. He and Barbara had a romantic, or perhaps just a physical relationship for a time & amongst other things, divulged his plans and backstory to lớn her & granted her wish of killing Jim Gordon implies he held her with more regard than the rest of the Maniax.
