History
The Telepath War was a conflict that impacted humanity with this erupting over the use of Telepaths. It emerged as a result of the Psi Corps attempting to circumvent and take over the Earth Alliance government. Thus, a war erupted between the Psi Corps, rogue telepaths and non-telepathic humans. The Psi Corps also runs a number of concentration camps to "re-educate" the rogues they capture, and kills civilians who have sheltered rogue telepaths. John Sheridan and the Interstellar Alliance intervene in the situation. The normal humans and rogue telepaths win this war, although there are many casualties (including Lyta Alexander and Lennier).
Following the war, the Earth Senate formally disbanded the Psi Corps with telepaths allowed to integrate themselves back into normal communities with this being spearheaded by the Bureau of Telepath Integration. (Episode: The Well of Forever)
A number of Psi Corps members are charged with war crimes. Many serve time in prison for their crimes. Others escape justice, and the commission dedicates itself to hunting down war criminals. Alfred Bester is one such fugitive from justice. He manages to remain at large for several years. Michael Garibaldi finally removes the mental blocks Bester had planted to prevent Garibaldi from harming him, and vigorously pursues Bester.
Eventually, Bester reaches Paris. He lives for a time under an assumed name, Claude Kaufmann, and begins a relationship with a local businesswoman. Garibaldi is instrumental in apprehending Bester. Bester is tried and convicted of crimes against humanity, sentenced to life in prison, and forced to take telepathy-inhibiting drugs. He dies ten years later.
