Biography
Lyta Alexander
On January 3rd 2257, Alexander was assigned to Babylon 5 as the station's first commercial telepath. She began mediating business deals and also received an odd proposition from Ambassador G'Kar for a deal to sell her DNA, since the Narn did not have telepaths. The day after she arrived, there was an assassination attempt on the Vorlon Ambassador Kosh. To discover the person who had done this, Laurel Takashima and Benjamin Kyle asked her to conduct an unauthorized scan on Kosh. Alexander initially dismissed this, but, seeing the consequences, agreed and was eventually able to view Kosh's last few moments. Surprisingly, she saw Commander Jeffrey Sinclair as the attempted assassin, however, the real culprit was a Minbari assassin using a changeling net. She encountered the assassin leaving Medlab, appearing as Alexander herself where she narrowly escaped death. (Episode: The Gathering) A week later, she was recalled to Earth as the Psi Corps wanted to question her about what she experienced while inside Kosh's mind. (Episode: The War Prayer) After leaving Babylon 5, Talia Winters was chosen to replace her as the station's assigned commercial telepath. (Episode: Divided Loyalties)
After months of being interrogated about her experience with Kosh, she escaped Psi Corps custody and began working with the Martian resistance. While in hiding with the resistance, Alexander learned of the Psi Corps sleeper program. Finding out that one of these sleepers was on Babylon 5, she discovered the password required to unlock this hidden personality and traveled to Babylon 5. Unsure of who it could be, Alexander scanned the minds of all the command staff but was unable to find the sleeper among them. By chance, Winters walked into the room and Alexander scanned her mind, unlocking the hidden personality. The second personality then took complete control, effectively destroying the 'real' Winters. (Episode: Divided Loyalties)
In the aftermath of Sheridan's 'death', Lyta became the adjutant of the new Vorlon ambassador Ulkesh who had come to Babylon 5. Despite his placement, he did not attend any meetings on Babylon 5 with the alliance of younger races starting to fracture as they believed the war against the Shadows had ended after the enemy simply pulled back on all fronts. Delenn requested a meeting with the ambassador where she attempted to enlist his aid as she felt that a word from the Vorlon empire would rally the others. However, Ulkesh did not respond with him forcing Lyta to deny all the Minbari ambassadors requests. After leaving the meeting, Lyta apologised to Delenn over the ambassador and explained that she had no choice in the matter with her then leaving the accompany Ulkesh. (Episode: The Hour of the Wolf)
