Delenn is surely one of the most spiritual people one could ever hope to meet. Trained as an
acolyte to the Minbari ruling instance, the Grey Council, she grows up with the feeling of
great power close to her.
After the disastrous first contact between Minbari and Humans, she steps into the quorum of nine,
assuming the place of the fallen leader, Dukhat. Incidentally, it is her voice of (momentary)
unreason, that unleashes the full power and wrath of the Minabri military might upon the humans,
alnmost causing their extinction. Only the last minute interceding of the Grey Council halts the
wholesale slaughter of human life (and loss of Minbari souls).
For three years Delenn acts as ambassador to the Minbari on Babylon 5, hiding her connection to the
Grey Council. It is she who garners support for babylon 5 among the Minbari, along with being a primary
driving force behind the Army of Light, which opposes the Shadows and their minions.
To achieve this very end, she is the one to break the Grey Council, as was prophecied by Valen. When
the Minbari culture breaks apart and civial war brings strife death to every part of Minbari society,
she and Sheridan do their utmost to pacify the factions and return peace to the people.
During her stay on Babylon 5, Delenn undergoes numerous trials, tests, and pain. But she also finds
a soulmate in Sheridan, whom she marries. Together they head up the Interstellar Alliance, bringing
peace and stability to the galaxy as a whole.
