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, with Delenn, leader of the Army of Light.
|
|
Formerly an officer of the Earth Alliance military until Babylon 5's secession,
|
|
Sheridan was a hero of the Earth-Minbari War. He now finds himself at the
|
|
center of a storm that dwarfs anything in his experience.
|
|
A visit to Z'ha'dum, the Shadow homeworld, resulted
|
|
in his death, but he was revived by Lorien, one of the First
|
|
Ones. His sacrifice resulted in the destruction of the Shadows'
|
|
largest city and halted their advance. The experience lent him a heroic
|
|
mystique in the eyes of many, a situation which doesn't entirely please him.

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's responsibilities have only increased since the start of the Shadow
|
|
War. A capable pilot and tactician, she can frequently be found in command of
|
|
part of the White Star fleet. Ivanova's natural pessimism, bordering on
|
|
fatalism, would be unbearable if not for her dry sense of humor. Born in
|
|
St. Petersburg, Russia, and raised abroad on Earth, Ivanova is a latent
|
|
telepath, "not even a P1," and spent her life hiding her talent from
|
|
Psi Corps after their legally-mandated drug treatments drove her mother
|
|
to suicide.

Delenn
|
|
-
|
|
<a href="/lurk/making/cast.html#furlan">Mira Furlan</a>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Officially, Delenn is the Minbari Ambassador, a former member of Minbar's
|
|
ruling body, the Grey Council. The Shadow War splintered the Council and
|
|
her people; now she leads the Religious and Worker Castes as co-commander
|
|
of the Army of Light. Delenn's strong sense of destiny, her conviction
|
|
that her role in the war is a matter of fate, led her to undergo a physical
|
|
transformation that gave her human characteristics. At first, this made her
|
|
an outcast, but as the ancient prophecies started coming true, she found
|
|
her people rallying around her. Delenn and Sheridan are in love, but their
|
|
relationship is largely on hold thanks to the demands of the war.

Security Chief Michael Garibaldi
|
|
-
|
|
<a href="/lurk/making/cast.html#doyle">Jerry Doyle</a>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Formerly 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. While Sheridan was on Z'ha'dum, Garibaldi
|
|
was abducted by the Shadows and brought to a Psi Corps facility; he has no
|
|
idea what was done to him there, and only vaguely remembers the abduction
|
|
itself. Since his return he has become short-tempered and skeptical of
|
|
Sheridan and his other compatriots.

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 feels 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.

Londo Mollari
|
|
-
|
|
<a href="/lurk/making/cast.html#jurasik">Peter Jurasik</a>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
The former Centauri ambassador to Babylon 5, Londo was promoted to chief of
|
|
planetary security and became a member of the Centauri Royal Court. Londo
|
|
was once a minor figure, a decadent nobleman from an insignificant royal
|
|
house. But his dealings with the Shadows, dealings whose price he didn't
|
|
understand until too late, propelled him into the corridors of power and
|
|
are likely to make him the next Emperor. World-weary and horrified by the
|
|
events spinning out of control around him, Londo's sarcastic sense of humor
|
|
has been all but smothered; he finds himself walking on eggshells, choosing
|
|
his words carefully lest they cause even more damage.

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 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.
|
|
Thanks to a Vorlon-induced revelation, G'Kar believes that his people
|
|
must serve the role of sacrificial lambs, sacrificing themselves in the
|
|
interest of the greater good. He is something of a spiritual leader
|
|
among his people; his exile, now well over a year long, has given him a
|
|
compelling serenity and sense of conviction.

Ambassador Kosh
|
|

|
animatronics
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Native voice
|
|
designed by Chris Franke.<br>
|
|
English translation: Ardwight Chamberlain.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The station's second Vorlon Ambassador after the first was assassinated by
|
|
the Shadows, Kosh is a reclusive, dark personality, who seems to hold the
|
|
other beings on the station in low esteem, if not contempt. Like all Vorlons,
|
|
in public he wears a bulky encounter suit to hide his true form. When he
|
|
bothers to speak with others at all, he communicates through a complex sequence
|
|
of musical tones, translated into English by a device on his encounter suit.
|
|
The only person on the station who knows anything about Kosh is his aide
|
|
Lyta Alexander, whose body he occasionally inhabits when he wants to travel
|
|
incognito.
