About

G'Kar is a pivotal character in the science fiction series Babylon 5, played by Andreas Katsulas.

Born on the Narn homeworld around 2201, G'Kar grew up under the Centauri occupation, which significantly shaped his early life and worldview. His experiences as a victim of war and oppression fueled his initial aggression and desire for revenge against the Centauri. As the series progresses, G'Kar evolves into a wise and spiritual leader, becoming a symbol of hope and redemption for his people. His journey is marked by significant events, including his role in the resistance against the Centauri occupation and his complex relationship with Londo Mollari, the Centauri Ambassador. G'Kar's transformation is deeply influenced by his spiritual exploration and his encounters with the mysterious forces of the universe. Ultimately, his character arc is one of the most compelling in science fiction, as he transitions from a figure of aggression to a revered spiritual figure.
