Kosh Naranek Kosh is the Vorlon Ambasador to Babylon 5. As one of the older of his kind, Kosh is well respected by the Vorlon Empire. Why he was chosen to play ambassador to the lesser-species on Babylon 5 will probably never be known. The Vorlons are one of the very few known silicon-based lifeforms in the galaxy. They are powerfully telepathic and have incredible physical strength. Next to nothing is known about a Vorlon's physical makeup with surety. They are bioluminescent and can move quickly. Their anatomy allows them to fly; probably through the use of psychokinesis along with crystalline wings. Vorlons are very long lived; possibly immortal as the Soul Hunters are rumored to be. They supposedly are heavy methane, sulfur, and CO2 breathers, however, being outside of the encounter suit in an nitrogen/oxygen environment does them little or no harm. Nutrient circulation is carried out by "blue cells." Vorlons are susceptible to the poison Florazyne (a rare poison only found in the Damocles Sector). While some Vorlons appear to humans as male, some do adopt a more "female" presentation. The Vorlon species is very quiet and rarely speaks, but when a Vorlon speaks it is always confusing at first, but be sure to listen because a Vorlon's words always carry deep meaning.
