N'Grath

An insectoid Trakallan living on Babylon 5 known as a "fixer", or one who can supply black market-style items or information to anyone who can pay for it. He provided the rogue Soul Hunter with plans of the station and full access privileges, although he refused to help Michael Garibaldi when he was on the run from Lianna Kemmer, claiming that he only did legitimate business.

N'Grath is prevented from speaking English owing to his mandibles and so must use a translation device to translate his cricket like voice.

Na'ka'leen Feeder

A horrible creature - seemingly semi-intelligent - indigenous to Centauri space, where it is kept under heavy quarantine after wiping out a Centauri colony on their first encounter. The creature feeds on the neural activity of the brain associated with memory and personality, essentially performing a mind wipe of the victim.

Their yellow/orange head and body are not separate, and they have six totally prehensile brownish pink tentacles; two 1.5 meter long "hands" with suckers and four 2 meter long, bifurcating "legs" upon which they can move very quickly and leap surprising distances. They have high pitched voices and can mimic human voices.

A feeder was smuggled onto Babylon 5 by Deuce, and kept in a Vorlon-like encounter suite, where under the control of Deuce it was used to exert a brief reign of terror in DownBelow before it was killed in a shoot-out in Brown 9.

Dr Lazarenn

A Markab medical doctor and longtime friend and colleague of Dr Stephen Franklin, since his visit to the Markab homeworld, during the time when Franklin was a medical student, hitching around the galaxy.

When an outbreak of Drafa occured - "one hundred percent infectious and one hundred percent terminal" - Dr. Lazarenn entered the Isolab and allowed himself to be infected. This made it possible for Dr. Franklin, to study the progress of the disease and eventually find an antidote. The antidote when it came was too late to save Dr. Lazarenn. The entire Markab race was destroyed by Drafa.

Tharg and M'Ola

The "Children of Time" and the parents of Shon, who had a terminal illness that could have easily been corrected by surgery. Because of their religious beliefs, surgery was not allowed, as they believed the soul would escape the body leaving behind an empty shell. When Dr. Franklin performed the surgery anyway without permission, Tharg ritually killed the boy.

Shon

The son of Tharg and M'Ola - a Child of the Egg - who suffered from a fatally congestive blockage of the air bladder. He was brought to Babylon 5 by his parents in the hope of a cure.

He was diagnosed by Dr. Franklin as needing a simple surgical procedure to clear the blockage. However his parents refused the surgery on religious grounds, believing that if the body was cut, the soul would be lost.

Dr. Franklin resorted to a futile couse of microbeams and mineral oil while he tried to convince Shon's parents to agree to the surgery before Shon died. Franklin gave Shon a "gloppit egg" to care for, to take his mind off the situation. Shon realised the gloppit egg was nothing more than industrial goo, but played along with it.

When his attempts at convincing Shon's parents to agree to the surgery failed, and Commander Sinclair refused to intervene and suspend their parental authority, Franklin carried out the surgery anyway, which was successful, only to have Shon ritually killed by his parents, who believed that Shon was now just a shell without a soul.

Correlilmurzon and Taq

Correlilmurzon, the delegate sent by the Lumati to establish whether Babylon 5 and the Human race were worthy of their presence. He was accompanied by Taq (shown to his left), a member of a servitor race, and possibly telepathic. Taq would act as a translator so that Correlilmurzon would not have to interact directly with a member of a potentially lesser race.

He became convinced of the worthiness of mankind after Susan Ivanova reluctantly agreed to take him on a tour of DownBelow, mistakenly believing that this was a method employed by humans to segregate the inferior members of their race.

On completion of the negotiations, he announced to Susan Invanova the the deal would be ratified by sex. Sex is apparently the Lumati equivalent of a handshake. Ivanova managed to trick him into believing that he was having sex with her, but Taq was obviously not decieved. Correlilmurzon left a small gift for Ivanova with a note attached, saying "next time - my way" which suggested he was not decieved either.

Vindrizzi

A race of parasitic symbiotes that resemble a scorpion with twelve legs that were created around half a million years ago to collect and store knowledge from throughout the galaxy. This was for the time when life would inevitably fall into a new dark age and all will turn to them as keepers of the past. They are 100%, genetically neutral, allowing them to use any life form as a host, although a host that uses narcotics can be killed in the process of merging.

They survive by seeking those with little reason to live, such as the lurkers on Babylon 5, and offering them a sense of purpose, improved health, and access to the Vindrizzi's memories in return for being a host.

Varn

The ancient custodian of the machinery on Epsilon 3, entrusted with the care of the Great Machine when its creators left the planet in the mid-18th century, a role that he maintained for five hundred years until his failing health caused him to search for a replacement. In 2258 he began to loose control of the Great Machine, causing enormous tectonic disturbances on the planet.

He appeared in holographic form on Babylon 5 to Commander Sinclair and Londo Mollari. An expedition by Sinclair and Susan Ivanova on a possible first contact protocol situation discovered Varn plugged into the Great Machine and brought him back to Babylon 5 for medical assistance. Finally Varn called telepathically to Draal and Delenn, who rushed to MedLab where Varn convinced them that they should help him.

Accompanied by Londo Mollari they returned to the planet where, after some discussion, Draal took Varn's place in the Great Machine and with a replacement found Varn spent his final days helping Draal adjust to the workings of the interface.
