[edit] Warning Sheridan about the Drakh
In 2267 Galen appeared in a dream to Interstellar Alliance President John Sheridan. Galen warned President Sheridan that if he did not act soon that Earth would suffer the same fate of Daltron 7, a dead world. Galen then later revealed that the Drakh had a Shadow planetkiller and that the destruction of Daltron 7 was simply a test, and that they want revenge on Earth because they had defeated their masters, The Shadows. Shortly after this Galen was banished from his order for having too much contact with the humans.

[edit] Joining the Crew
In 2259, Galen saved Gideon from death when he and the other Technomages were leaving known space because of the Shadows. Shortly after the Drakh attack, Dureena Nafeel told Gideon of Galen and Gideon set out to find him. Once Gideon found him Galen questioned him and his mission and then agreed to join the crew. Though he would frequently come and go as he pleases.
[edit] Regula 4
On Regula 4 they found a Technomage who Galen knew. They tried to stop Earthforce from mining a mineral that was ruining the land and poisoning the locals. They succeeded by creating an illusion that the Technomage was trying to destroy the ships in orbit. The Excalibur destroyed the illusion and in the process destroyed the mine.
[edit] Well of Forever
They then went in search of the Well of Forever because Galen said that they should. Galen patched his navigation systems in to the Excalibur and they went searching for it in Hyperspace. When they got to the place where it was supposed to be it wasn't there. Galen then took control of the Excalibur and looked in another location. He finds the Well and goes to it. He lands on it and buries his lover. Gideon was mad at Galen and Galen apologized. Galen then erased the data about the Well from the computers. He then left.
[edit] Ancient Civilization Infected with the Plague
When Gideon was being chased by robotic ship he saved Gideon in the nick of time. He then says no to Dureena when she asks for him to teach her what he knows. He then gets out a hologram of himself. Except it is modified so that it has more substance. He finds out that other races had been there. When the other hologram appears he figures out that the aliens were conducting experiments on other creatures to find a cure for the plague.
[edit] Technomage Virus
When they reached a planet to explore he told them not to go down there because the Technomage would did was killed by what he called a spirit. They went down anyway. When the crew started to die, Dr. Chambers examined the bodies and found out that a nano-virus caused they people to die. Galen asked her to zoom in on part of the virus and he figured out that the virus was made by a Technomage. He goes down to the planet and puts on a protective shield. He then goes down to take out the Technomage. He finds out that the Technomage is dead but a hologram was left of him and a huge machine. When Galen tried to destroy it Dureena appeared and tried to kill him because she was under the control of the virus. She throws a dagger into his shoulder. She then charges at him and Gideon appears and blows away the bridge she was crossing. She makes it over and Galen throws his staff at the machine. The machine blows up and they escape. When Dr. Chambers treats him of his wounds she finds machines in his back. He then says that the staff was a one of a kind control mechanism and he needed it back. Then Dureena comes in and gives him his staff back, which she dug up. Galen then helped Dr. Chambers modify the virus to be a filter.
[edit] Warning Sheridan about Prince Vintari
Galen approached Sheridan once again in 2271, to warn him of another threat to earth. In 30 years time the emperor of the Centauri Republic, Dius Vintari, will destroy earth, as they are the only people standing in the way of the expansion on the Centauri Republic. Galen informs Sheridan that "there are ways to fix this", and thus Sheridan should kill Vintari. Sheridan arranges for both Sheridan and Vintari to make the final approach to Babylon 5 in a pair of Starfuries. Galen arranges for a "malfunction" in Sheridan's weapons system in which Vintari's Starfury will be destroyed. However, before this occurs Sheridan realizes Galen used the word "ways" rather than "way". So Sheridan disarms the weapons system an instead starts a friendship with Vintari in the hope that he can show him that earth is no threat to the Centauri. Galen warns Sheridan this path is by no means certain and may fail, he then disappears once again.
