Underappreciated Babylon 5 relationship of the day:
Commander Jeffrey Sinclair and Lennier
Lennier is a devout member of the Minbari religious caste and has a scholarly understanding of the historic and spiritual texts of his people. He is particularly engrossed in the history of Valen whom he regards as the greatest of his people. Lennier regularly recites the lore of Valen to any individual who shows the slightest interest.
Commander Sinclair as a result of these casual history lessons with Mr. Lennier learns a great deal about himself, and the ideal he must strive to attain regarding the future of his past. Jeffrey Sinclair learns the lessons he must instill before he knows exactly how to get them across.
Jeffrey Sinclair and Lennier are crucial figures in one another’s lives, yet neither truly understood the impact until much later.
