Meet the characters from Babylon 5

Lennier

Lennier is the quiet, steady heart that keeps trying to be invisible but never quite manages it — in the best way. He’s the ultra-loyal aide who takes notes on everything (tiny notebook, terrible handwriting) and believes in duty like it’s oxygen, except when he forgets his own lunch. There’s this soft, bookish romance about him; he’s awkwardly brave and also annoyingly precise, like someone who irons their feelings. He’s sincere to a fault, and you can tell he’d give you his coat even if it were raining inside.

Michael Garibaldi

Garibaldi is gruff, suspicious, and somehow the person you call when the space station falls apart at 3 a.m. — loves his coffee too much, hates bureaucracy, and will glare you into confessions while humming some old tune under his breath. He’s a war-scarred, savvy security chief with a past that leaks into his present, but also a ridiculous soft spot for small comforts (tuna sandwich, anyone?). Paranoid? Yes. Loyal? Absolutely. He’s the kind of guy who’ll swear at you and then quietly fix your life without making a scene.

Londo Mollari

Londo is theatrical, chaotic, and impossibly proud — full of pomp, speeches, and a fondness for bad decisions that somehow make him unforgettable. He loves wine, frivolity, and the sound of his own name in a crowd, but also hides these quiet, terrible regrets like a pocketknife he can’t stop opening. He’s equal parts courtier and tragic hero, always trading dignity for power and then wondering why it hurts. Honestly, he’ll insult you with a flourish and then buy you pastries, which is somehow quintessential Londo.

G’Kar

G’Kar is fiery, eloquent, and smacks you with wisdom when you least expect it — part revolutionary, part philosopher, always two steps away from delivering a sermon or a punch. He rages about injustice but also cherishes small things like sunlight on a bad day (or maybe that was his childhood, I might be mixing episodes — but it’s true). There’s a fierce humor in him, and a tendency to brood poetically, which makes his comebacks both terrifying and beautiful. He’s the kind of person who will rewrite your whole worldview and then offer you a cup of questionable tea.

Vir Cotto

Vir is adorably earnest in the way only someone raised in a decadent, slightly crooked court can be — blushing, bewildered, endlessly loyal, and secretly sharper than he looks. He’s the diplomatic underdog who trips over etiquette and somehow ends up resolving things because he listens, which is apparently wildly underrated. Soft-spoken, kind, prone to odd metaphors (and collecting tiny things), he’s equal parts comic relief and the surprising moral compass. Also, I swear he has an inexplicable fondness for oddly shaped teacups.

Dr. Stephen Franklin

Dr. Franklin is quietly heroic, the pragmatic healer who carries exhaustion like a medal and still manages to scold you gently for not wearing your med patch. He’s professional to a fault, compassionate, and has that quietly weary humor — probably drinks terrible hospital coffee with dignity. He’ll argue medical ethics at 2 a.m. and then hold a hand while someone dies, which is both heartbreaking and infuriatingly admirable. There’s tenderness under the lab coat and occasional flashes of dry sarcasm that kind of sneak up on you.

Delenn

Delenn is serene, mysterious, and utterly convincing as both spiritual leader and stubborn rebel — equal parts diplomat and fierce warrior, and she manages to look enigmatic while doing paperwork. She speaks in poetry sometimes (or maybe that’s just how her sentences sound), makes impossible choices with calm certainty, and is secretly fond of small, human things like bad jokes or spicy food when no one’s watching. Powerful but warm, otherworldly yet extremely practical — like incense and armor in perfect, slightly wrinkled harmony. She’ll change the course of history and then quietly rearrange the cushions.
