Editing Babylon 5 (section)

== Characters ==

'''Earth Alliance''':
* '''Jeffery Sinclair''': The first Commander of Babylon 5, left the main cast because the actor had mental health problems.
* '''John "nuke em" Sheridan''': The Replacement Commander. Had a tendancy to level the playing field against technologically superior or elderich opponents by using nukes.
* '''Michael Garibaldi''': What you get if [[Creed]] decided to take up being Security Chief in a Nobledark version of 40k.
* '''Susan Ivanova''': Arbiter of alien customs, part-time goddess of death, and target of Garibaldi's prankster side.
* '''Stephen Franklin''': Space House, minus the snark.
* '''Talia Winters''': Manchurian Candidate "In Spaaaaaaace" 
* '''Lyta Alexander''': Alien hold-out pistol, negotiator, and freedom fighter.
* '''Zack Allan''': Costello to Garibaldi's Abbot.
* '''Morgan Clark''': crazed president of earth, more an abstract of tyranny than a character.
* '''Alfred Bester''': [[Star Trek|Chekov]] playing lawful evil turned up to 11.  Literally and unironically.  

'''Minbari Federation''':
* '''Delenn''': main space elf and wannabe matyr. Guaranteed to take the most noble course in any situation (possibly in penance for her role in the earth mimbari war.) Rattles of a lot of speeches about good and morality.
* '''Lennier''': space monk, both in a religious sense and in a DnD sense. Aide to Delenn and the ultimate wingman.

'''Narn Regime''':
* '''G'Kar''': THE defining character of the series, although his redemption arc is such a slow boil that you wouldn't guess it at the start.  When we first meet him, he's a petty warmongerer made marginally tolerable because he was played so over the top.  Four seasons in, his speeches are channeling George Fox and his biggest problem is all of his followers misinterpreting the bible he wrote.  ''"Some must be sacrificed for all to be saved. First I took that as a revelation for the future. Now I see that it is as much about how we got here as about where we are going."''
* '''Na'Toth''': G'Kar's arrachée and originally mean to play the straight man to his early impulsive temperament. Didn't appear much because they couldn't find an actress who would be fine with the heavy prosthetics and makeup either physically or career-wise. Not every show can be Farscape.

'''Centauri Republic''':
* '''Londo Mollari''': [[Konrad Curze]] leaning more towards Slaanesh than Khorne, and more sympathetic.
* '''Vir Cotto''': ''"You don't frighten easily, Vir Cotto."  "I work for Ambassador Mollari.  After a while, nothing bothers you."'' Initially the bumbling aide of Londo Mollari, Vir gradually comes into his own as a skilled player and deeply decent individual. 

'''Vorlon Empire''':
* '''Kosh''': Plays Merlin to Sheridan's King Arthur.
* '''Ulkesh''': Saruman to kosh's Merlin.

'''Shadows''':
* '''Mr. Morden''': The smug template for Neutral Evil. Think chaos cultist of the infiltrate and corruption variety.
