Zathras

I found out today that the actor, Tim Choate, that played Zathras on Babylon 5 died September 24, 2004. Zathras is a name of one of 10 brothers who lived over a millenium. They were assistants to the events involving Babylon 4 during the last "great war", and knew the leader of the Minbar religion, Jeffrey Sinclari.

Some of his best lines were:

1. "Zathras used to being beast of burden. Zathras have sad life, probably have sad death, but at least there is symmetry".
2. "Everyone always coming to Zathras with problems. Great responsibilities. But Zathras does not mind. Zathras trained in crisis management."

Sleep well, Zathras, your burden is over.
