He has a thing for attractive hands, something that attracts him to Piper from the beginning. <blockquote>"Insomuch as Galen had a type, it was 'male with good hands.'

His mother was dedicated to the Saint of Steel and his father left the family when he was young. Galen speaks fondly of his grandmother, who was a weaver, and gave her grandchildren drop spindles as soon as they were old enough to handle them.

== Relationship with Piper == | |||
Galen gets to know Piper while investigating a string of murders in Anuket City, and they are attracted to one another fairly instantly. Galen pretends to be Piper's lover to justify their presence at an early-morning crime scene, and Piper makes a move while they are trapped in an ancient maze during their investigation. Throughout their early relationship, Galen is insistent that he is a monster and that their relationship won't work. Piper is equally insistent that Galen's sleep disturbances are not a deterrent, even after Galen goes mildly berserk when Piper wakes him. | |||
At the conclusion of Paladin's Hope, Galen and Piper are married. | |||
