- Despite its fantastic setting, <cite>Babylon 5</cite> is at its core a story
- about people, about the choices they make and the consequences of those
- choices. <cite>Babylon 5</cite>'s characters are as interesting and varied
- as the situations they encounter.
-

- <img align="middle" src="/lurk/gif/chars/sheridan.gif" width=80 height=100>
- Captain John Sheridan
- -
- <a href="/lurk/making/cast.html#boxleitner">Bruce Boxleitner</a>
- <dd>
- The commander of Babylon 5 and representative of the Earth Alliance.
- One of the few heroes of the Earth-Minbari War, Sheridan scored Earth's only
- major victory of the war, something which has earned him the hatred of the
- Minbari warrior caste, though since his appointment he has generally gotten
- along with the Minbari. Sheridan leads a cell
- of an anti-Government resistance movement aboard Babylon 5. When he found
- out that the Shadows were responsible for the loss of his wife Anna, he
- pledged himself to help defeat them. Along with
- Delenn, Sheridan is in charge of the Rangers on Babylon 5.
-

- <dt>
- <img align="middle" src="/lurk/gif/chars/ivanova.gif" width=80 height=100>
- Commander Susan Ivanova
- -
- <a href="/lurk/making/cast.html#christian">Claudia Christian</a>
- <dd>
- Second in command and in charge of the day-to-day operations of Babylon 5,
- Ivanova is an ambitious career officer. She can be quirky or
- pessimistic at times, but she has a dry sense of humor that shows
- itself in the rare moments she is able to relax among others. Born in
- St. Petersburg, Russia, and raised abroad on Earth, Ivanova is a latent
- telepath, "not even a P1," but has spent her life hiding her talent from
- Psi Corps after their legally-mandated drug treatments drove her mother
- to suicide.
-
- <p>
- <dt>
- <img align="middle" src="/lurk/gif/chars/garibaldi.gif" width=80 height=100>
- Security Chief Michael Garibaldi
- -
- <a href="/lurk/making/cast.html#doyle">Jerry Doyle</a>
- <dd>
- In charge of security on Babylon 5. Though he has a troubled past, bouncing
- from position to position and trying to overcome alcoholism, he seems to
- have found his home on Babylon 5. Garibaldi is something of a smart-aleck,
- always ready to crack a joke, but given to bouts of self-doubt and
- introspection when nobody's looking. His natural sense of paranoia wasn't
- reduced when he was shot in the back last year by his own second-in-command
- while he was investigating the death of President Santiago. He is working
- with Sheridan in the fight against the corruption on Earth.
-
- <p>
- <dt>
- <img align="middle" src="/lurk/gif/chars/franklin.gif" width=80 height=100>
- Dr. Stephen Franklin
- -
- <a href="/lurk/making/cast.html#biggs">Richard Biggs</a>
- <dd>
- Dedicated and assured, a specialist in xenobiology (alien biology), and
- in charge of Medlab on Babylon 5. His background is mainly in
- experimental medicine, so his bedside manner is occasionally not what
- it should be. His strong sense of personal morality is at times in
- conflict with his duties as the chief medical provider for aliens from
- hundreds of worlds and cultures, some of whom view his obligations
- rather differently. Dr. Franklin is known to operate outside the rules
- when he feel the issue is important. He runs a free clinic in the
- Downbelow section for those who cannot afford medical care; he also
- serves on an "underground railroad" for telepaths who do not want to be
- found by the Psi Corps. In his middle thirties now, he spent years
- hitchhiking through space, offering his medical services in exchange
- for the opportunity to examine new life forms.

- <dt>
- <img align="middle" src="/lurk/gif/chars/delenn-2.gif" width=80 height=100>
- Ambassador Delenn
- -
- <a href="/lurk/making/cast.html#furlan">Mira Furlan</a>
- <dd>
- Represents the Minbari. Once a member of Minbar's ruling body, the Grey
- Council, she lost her position after her controversial decision, following
- a prophecy, to undergo a transformation that gave her human characteristics.
- Religious, with a strong sense of fate and justice,
- she believes that she is the chosen one, who will lead in the upcoming fight
- against the Shadows.
-
- <p>
- <dt>
- <img align="middle" src="/lurk/gif/chars/londo.gif" width=80 height=100>
- Ambassador Londo Mollari
- -
- <a href="/lurk/making/cast.html#jurasik">Peter Jurasik</a>
- <dd>
- The representative of the Centauri Republic. Once on an inconsequential
- assignment, Londo has become one of his government's most powerful figures
- due to a Faustian bargain struck with new "friends" he knew nothing about,
- a deal that has spun far out of control. With their help, and the help of
- a few other ambitious Centauri, his government decimated the once
- powerful Narn Regime. Once jovial and indulgent, Londo is now deadly
- serious as he comes to realize what the consequences of his association
- with the Shadows really are.
-
- <p>
- <dt>
- <img align="middle" src="/lurk/gif/chars/gkar.gif" width=80 height=100>
- G'Kar
- -
- <a href="/lurk/making/cast.html#katsulas">Andreas Katsulas</a>
- <dd>
- The ambassador of the Narn Regime when there was a Narn Regime to represent,
- G'Kar is now a fugitive, wanted by the Centauri Republic. Sheridan granted
- him asylum on Babylon 5, which G'Kar is using as a base of operations from
- which to organize a movement to retake his homeworld from the Centauri.
- With limited resources, his authority challenged by the other Narn, G'Kar's
- position is truly desperate. Ironically, he was among the first to realize
- that the Shadows were helping the Centauri, but nobody heeded his warnings.
- G'Kar is well-read, deeply spiritual, and extremely intelligent.

- <p>
- <dt>
- <img align="middle" src="/lurk/gif/chars/kosh.gif" width=80 height=100>
- Ambassador Kosh Naranek
- -
- animatronics
- <dd>
- Native voice
- designed by Chris Franke.<br>
- English translation: Ardwight Chamberlain.
- <p>
- In order to save Sheridan's Life, Kosh finally has shown himself outside of
- his encounter suit, which he would wear even in his own methane-filled
- quarters when receiving visitors. Kosh is still very much an enigma;
- to many species, he appears as a holy being of light -- an
- angel, for instance. Kosh has taken a great interest in Sheridan, and is
- attempting to train him for the upcoming fight against the Shadows. He
- communicates through a complex sequence of musical tones, translated into
- English by a device on his encounter suit. When he speaks, his words are
- few and sound cryptic, but often have a strange truth to them.
