Rho-ha

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rho-ha (or Rho'ha) was a taelon appearing in two episodes of the television series Earth: Final Conflict.

Rho-ha allowed himself to be experimented upon in order to investigate Taelon evolution and the nature of humanity. During the experiment, Rho-ha became mentally unbalanced and partially fell out of the Taelon group consciousness, the commonality, he eventually killed a military officer using his shaqarava, a long-dormant energy-channeling organ in the palms of his hands. While all Taelons retained this organ, it had not been active for thousands of years.

In his altered state, Rho-ha was also capable of running extremely quickly, appearing as little more than a blur and was able to become invisible for short periods of time. The fast speed and increased athleticism was a trait shared by the Atavus in season 5.

Rho-ha was tried in a human court for the crime of murder. At Zo'or's request, he chose to "embrace the void", meaning that he willingly released his core energy from his body, effectively dying.
