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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ambassador Kosh Naranek

|
|
<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.
