Season 1
"War Prayer"

John Clemens

A former Major in Earth Force who had once served with Captain Elizabeth Lochley, and who had been trained both as an infiltrator and as a Starfury pilot.

Clemens had run the Beta 7 prison colony under President Clark during which time he had murdered and tortured many dissidents. Wanted by the Earth Alliance for his crimes and facing a death sentence he blamed John Sheridan for the ruin that his life had become and decided to exact a measure of revenge by assassinating him at his inauguration as President of the Interstellar Alliance.

Clemens managed to murder a Ranger to send a message to Babylon 5, and then killed the newly appointed Gaim Ambassador Rashan, in order to use his environment suit as a disguise to gain access to the ceremony. He was preparing his weapon for the attempt when he was spotted and telepathically scanned by Simon who had been attracted by the sound a a music box Clemens had. Shocked at what he had seen in Clemens' mind, Simon started, in the process making a noise that alerted Clemens to his presence.

Clemens sprayed the access tunnel with PPG fire, and upon seeing a trickle of blood, he fled the room, to proceed with the assassination attempt, but was foiled when a mortally injured Simon managed to get to the ceremony in time to raise the alarm. In the resultant shootout Clemens managed to kill a security guard and escape with a hostage, stealing a Starfury to make a final attempt at Sheridan's life.

Before he could blast Sheridan through the observation window however his Starfury was seized from behind by the grappling hook of another Starfury piloted by Michael Garibaldi, who managed to drag the assassin away and into the path of Babylon 5's defense system which blasted the ship apart.

"No Compromises"

Harriman Gray

A military specialist in Psi Corps, in which he is rated as a P10 telepath, acting as their liaison to Earth Force and was loaned to Colonel Ben Zayn by Bester to investigate Jeffrey Sinclair and the other Babylon 5 command staff.

Harriman Gray does not seem particularly happy with his role, taking great satisfaction in seeing Ben Zayn humiliated, perhaps because his childhood dream was to be a pilot in Earth Force, getting as far as Air Dome before his latent telepathic abilities became evident and he was reassigned as a liaison by Psi Corps.

[Played by Jeffrey Combs

Season 1
"Eyes"

Dr. Everett Jacobs

A former professor of Dr. Stephen Franklin when he was studying at Harvard University who later joined Earth Force where he served as the personnal physician to Vice-President Clark.

He examined Vice-President Clark less than 24 hours before the destruction of Earth-Force One, killing President Luis Santiago, and as a result knowing that the virus that the newly appointed President Clark claimed to have in order to leave prior to the explosion did not exist.

When it became clear that President Clark intended to have him eliminated he tried to rendezvous with one of General Hague's contacts at Io with his information, but could not find him and came to Babylon 5 instead, pursued by Derek Cranston, an operative of Earth Force Special Intelligence who claimed that DrJacobs had abused his security clearance to gain access to classified information.

John Sheridan learned the truth from Sarah, another of General Hague's operatives, and ordered Dr. Stephen Franklin and Michael Garibaldi to find him first. They managed to retrieve both Dr. Jacobs and his data crystal of incriminating information after he was taken hostage by a resident of DownBelow, Max, who intended to ransom him to Derek Cranston.

Dr. Jacobs himself was placed into an artificial coma and hidden onboard Kosh's transport to avoid detection of a security scan for a transmitter planted in his body as an anti-kidnapping measure. This led to Derek Cranston being convinced that Dr. Jacobs was never on Babylon 5, despite having received information from Max that he was.

"Believers"

Dr. Lillian Hobbs

A medical doctor who received her degree at Tagore Medical School, Bangalore, in the Indian Consortium and went on to do some advanced work at Institute Pasteur, Paris before starting work on Babylon 5 as a senior doctor.

She had a disagreement with Dr. Stephen Franklin over his incorrect prognosis and remedy of a patient's condition which caused him to lose his temper. Michael Garibaldi, who had witnessed the event having brought a wounded security officer to MedLab, correctly assumed that the outburst was caused as a result of Dr. Franklin's stim addiction and confronted him over the matter only to have Dr. Franklin angrily reject his claims that he had a problem.

As a result Michael Garibaldi approached Dr. Hobbs and requested that she provide him with details of Dr. Franklin's blood test results, although she refused to provide him with the samples insisting that he should go through official channels, she did provide him with the location of the data. Having observed their conversation, and correctly guessed what it was about, Dr. Franklin ran the checks himself in an attempt
to show the security chief that he was wrong, only to discover that he was indeed addicted to stims and as a result of which resigned he position as chief of medical staff on Babylon 5.

"Mindwar"

Dr. Mary Kirkish

An archeologist employed by Interplanetary Expeditions since 2248 who was assigned to Mars Colony during 2253 to assist in on-going excavations for buried artifacts over a thousand years old.

One of these excavations, near Syria Planum, uncovered a Shadow warship buried 300ft beneath the surface, which meant that it had been there for about 1000 years. The team were instructed to pull back and wait. The vessel was eventually excavated by a second such ship, and the team were subsequently ordered never to talk about what they had seen and then were split up. Those involved then started to be killed or disappear.

Kirkish herself was later assigned to Ganymede where a third vessel was being excavated, only this time for the study and use of EarthGov, a fact that prompted her to flee to Babylon 5 with the assistance of Michael Garibaldi and the Rangers where she told her story before fleeing to Minbari space with the help of Delenn.

Major Lianna Kemmer

The daughter of Frank Kemmer and a Major in the Earth Alliance President's Security Staff who blamed Michael Garibaldi's negligence for the death of her father.

She finally forgave Garibaldi after driving him back to the bottle by prosecuting him for a crime he didn't commit. When he confronted her with the fact that she was putting her emotions before reason and urging her to double check the docking bays, discovering the real culprit was her own aide, Cutter.

[Played by Elaine Thomas, young Lianna played by Robin Wake]

Occurrence:
Season 1
"Survivors"

Susanna Luchenko

The senator for the Russian Consortium who became the acting President of the Earth Alliance following President Clark's decision to commit suicide rather than face the consequences of capture by John Sheridan's forces.

While Luchenko was sympathetic towards John Sheridan, believing that while he had
probably done the right thing and that his actions were morally correct it was politically wrong and inconvenient, for which a price must be paid. To that end she revealed that half of Earth Force wanted to kiss Sheridan on the cheek and present him with the Medal of Honor, while the other half wanted him shot. She stated that she would quite happily put him before a tribunal stacked with members of the latter category if he did not agree to resign from Earth Force, although she would permit him full honors and
pension together with amnesty for those who had served under him.

John Sheridan agreed to the resignation, provided that he could have the amnesty in writing, a document which he immediately revealed to the press to prevent it from being revoked, a likely consequence given that he was about to be named as the President of the new Interstellar Alliance.

[Played by Beata Pozniak]

Major Ryan

An Earth Force major who assumed command of the Alexander following the death of General William Hague in an ambush by the Clarkstown at Orion 7, whose captain had ironically been introduced to Ryan only the previous year by Hague who had been to the academy with the Clarkstown's captain.

Ari Ben Zayn

An Earth Force Colonel and Earth Alliance Internal Affairs investigator who was on the top ten list to be chosen as commander of Babylon 5 after tours of duty at Israel, New Jerusalem and Sirius 3. He resented Jeffrey Sinclair for being chosen as a result, considering him to be a "hotshot hero" with "no real leadership ability".

He does not drink, believing that "it makes a soldier weak". He was sent to Babylon 5 by the Psi Cop Bester posing as Aaron Franks of the Quartermaster Corporation in order to investigate Jeffrey Sinclair. He used Article 52 in an attempt to seize control of Babylon 5 but was shown to be mentally unstable by his assistant, Harriman Gray.
