	* '''Lennier''':		* '''Lennier''': space monk, both in a religious sense and in a DnD sense. Aide to Delenn and the ultimate wingman.

	'''Narn Regime''':		'''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."''		* '''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.

	* '''Na'Toth''':		* '''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.
