As far as I know, Galiard has never been as polarizing as Jenred. Enemies he had in plenty, but not the same level of vitriolic, frothing-at-the-mouth hatred.
He did back in Lasanar, and then again when he returned to Cathay prior to his self-imposed exile - but those enemies, while vitriolic, were also apathetic, and placing bounties and stabbing people takes effort.
He was also Conan's chief rival for a while but that was right around when I left BM, and others took up that mantle.
