I mean, I like Caius, but he has pretty much no connection to Lightning. But who else is there really? Barthandelus is a super long shot.

it would have to be caius really. id say he makes more sense than Barthandelus. besides i cant imagine playing as Barthandelus. unless they want to make a funny character. ( imagine the Dysley against a tough dude like exdeath xD)
The most "personal" one would be Bhunivelze in Hope's Body. But not that much more personal than Dysley. They both used Lightning as she loves Serah.
Got to be Caius really. I disagree with what you said about Caius having no connection to Lightning, by the way. They're duelling each other for literally the entirety of XIII-2!
I think Bhunivelze could work well, but yeah, Caius seems like the logical option
Caius is as valid as Lightning opponent as Garland and Ultimecia are for the others.
The fight each other, because in the closed circuit their past and future selves always will fight and have fought each other. That is what they are always about in those games.
