Lennier, played by Bill Mumy, is a fictional character in the universe of the science fiction television series Babylon 5. He is Minbari and acts as ambassadorial aide to Delenn throughout most of the series.
[edit] Career
Just as Delenn was an acolyte of Dukhat, Lennier was the faithful acolyte of Minbari Ambassador Delenn for several years. A member of the Third Fain of Chu'Domo of the religious caste and a fierce fighter, he later joined the Rangers.
In the episode "Day of the Dead," Lennier is confronted by the ghost of Morden, the human who worked with the Shadows. Lennier, who had returned from training hoping to speak to a spirit as part of an alien religious observance, makes the mistake of asking Morden for wisdom. This encounter presages several later events in the series.
Among Lennier's friends are Vir Cotto and Marcus Cole.
Eventually it was revealed that Lennier was secretly in love with Delenn. However he did not act on his feelings due to her involvement with Sheridan. He did confess his feelings to her when they were both trapped in hyperspace facing death but Delenn attributed this as a meaningless psychological reaction.
Lennier's feelings later caused his downfall. When Sheridan suffered an accident aboard a White Star ("Objects at Rest"), Lennier refused to help him and left him for dead. When Sheridan was rescued, Lennier ran away, never to be heard from again.
The series left Lennier's final fate unknown, although most of Morden's prophecies came true and there are hints in the series finale that Lennier was killed in the Telepath War.
