Rho'ha

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rho'ha is a Taelon appearing in two episodes of the television series Earth: Final Conflict.

Rho'ha allowes himself to be experimented upon in order to investigate Taelon evolution and the nature of humanity. During the experiment, Rho'ha becomes mentally unbalanced and partially falls out of the Taelon Commonality, he eventually kills a military officer using his shaqarava, a long-dormant energy-channeling organ in the palms of his hands. While all Taelons retain this organ, it has not been active for thousands of years.

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

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