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.

<a href="/lurk/chars/sinclair.html">Commander Jeffrey Sinclair</a>
|
|
-
|
|
<a href="/lurk/making/cast.html#ohare">Michael O'Hare</a>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
The commander of Babylon 5 and representative of the Earth Alliance.
|
|
A survivor of the climactic Battle of the Line at the end of the
|
|
Earth-Minbari War, Sinclair sometimes yearns
|
|
for his days as a hotshot fighter pilot, and partially for that reason,
|
|
he's given to taking unnecessary personal risks. He's uncomfortable in his
|
|
position and in fact isn't entirely sure why he was given command of such a
|
|
major post and made a high-level diplomat; his stiff demeanor is perhaps due
|
|
to a fear that he isn't up to the job he's been given. Sinclair was born on
|
|
Mars Colony and is 39 years old.

Lt. 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, she has a strong
|
|
dislike for the Psi-Corps, whose legally-mandated drug treatments drove
|
|
her mother to suicide after it was discovered her mother was a latent
|
|
telepath. She is new on the station and often buries herself in her
|
|
work; her friends are few and her family is all but gone.

Security Chief Michael Garibaldi
|
|
-
|
|
<a href="/lurk/making/cast.html#doyle">Jerry Doyle</a>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
In charge of security on Babylon 5. He has a troubled past, bouncing from
|
|
position to position and trying to overcome alcoholism. He was picked by
|
|
Sinclair for the job; the two worked together in the past. Sinclair
|
|
knew that Garibaldi would be persistent, not willing to give in to
|
|
political pressures -- in Sinclair's words, "a pain in the ass." 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.

Talia Winters
|
|
-
|
|
<a href="/lurk/making/cast.html#thompson">Andrea Thompson</a>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Babylon 5's resident telepath, on her first solo assignment, with level 5 psi
|
|
rating, bound by the rules and regulations of the Psi Corps. She sells her
|
|
telepathic services to businessmen, and occasionally assists Sinclair in
|
|
negotiations. Talia was raised and trained by the Psi Corps, meaning that
|
|
that organization is her family.

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. In his middle thirties now, he spent
|
|
years hitchhiking through space, offering his doctoral services in
|
|
exchange for the opportunity to examine new life forms.

|
|
-
|
|
<a href="/lurk/making/cast.html#jurasik">Peter Jurasik</a>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
The representative of the Centauri Republic. Londo views Babylon 5's
|
|
mission as something of a sham, with limited chance of helping his people
|
|
regain their lost glory and sense of purpose.
|
|
His assignment on Babylon 5 is not considered an important position, in spite
|
|
of the high status that his regalia and high-standing hair would indicate. A
|
|
war hero in his younger days, he has since grown decadent and indulgent.
|
|
Londo can often be found
|
|
in one of the station's bars or casinos, drinking himself to oblivion.
|
|
He has a biting, cynical sense of humor. Perhaps his only real friend is
|
|
Garibaldi, who understands something of what Londo has been through.

Ambassador Delenn
|
|
-
|
|
<a href="/lurk/making/cast.html#furlan">Mira Furlan</a>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Represents the Minbari Federation. Delenn is a member of the highest Minbari
|
|
governmental body, the Grey Council, and why she's masquerading as a lowly
|
|
ambassador is one of the ongoing mysteries of <cite>Babylon 5</cite>.
|
|
A member of the religious caste, Delenn's belief in fate and destiny is
|
|
often evident. She is fascinated by humans and tries to learn all about them;
|
|
some say she is suspiciously watchful of Commander Sinclair.

Ambassador G'Kar
|
|
-
|
|
<a href="/lurk/making/cast.html#katsulas">Andreas Katsulas</a>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
The representative of the Narn Regime rose to his position in part thanks to
|
|
his wife's renown as a hero of the revolutionary war against the Centauri,
|
|
but his own ambition and ability are more than equal to the job.
|
|
G'Kar will waste no opportunity to turn a situation to the Narns' advantage,
|
|
even if it means antagonizing everyone else on the station. He takes pride
|
|
in his position and himself, a pride perhaps bordering on arrogance at times.
|
|
G'Kar would like nothing better than to see the Centauri, and Londo in
|
|
particular, pay dearly for their brutal occupation of Narn.

|

<p>
|
|
Even less is known about Ambassador Kosh than about his race. He arrived on
|
|
the station in 2257 and was promptly the victim of a complex assassination plot
|
|
involving the Minbari and others. He is rarely seen in council meetings,
|
|
claiming that "we take no interest in the affairs of others," and Vorlons'
|
|
reasons for coming to Babylon 5 at all are unknown.
|
|
Kosh 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.
|
|
Kosh's quarters are
|
|
filled with a dense atmosphere of methane and other gases; whether he
|
|
needs it or is using it to make himself less accessible is an open question.
|
|
Even when he's receiving visitors there, Kosh wears his suit.
