G'Quan

G'Quan was a hero in the Babylon 5 television series and related media.

G'Quan lived during the 13th century, at the same time period that the Minbari's Valen led the Minbari, Vorlons and allies to victory over the Shadows.

During that war the Shadows had set up a base on the Narn homeworld. At that time the Narn were a peaceful and primitive agrarian race. The Shadows paid little attention to them but seeing that there were telepaths - which the Narn called mind walkers - they killed nearly all of them, along with their families.

A leader of the mind walkers, G'Quan led the last few surviving Narn telepaths in driving the Shadows off the Narn homeworld.

A religious philosopher, G'Quan compiled his thoughts and experiences into what would become known as the Book of G'Quan. His descriptions and drawings of the Shadows and their equipment would become one of few records to survive the war. After his passing G'Quan became one of the most important religious figures to the Narn. For a millennium after his death the book that he wrote was the best selling book amongst the Narn, with every copy meticulously copied from the original by Narn artisans.

The 23rd century Narn leader G'Kar owned a copy of G'Quan's book. Thanks to what G'Quan had written in the book G'Kar and his allies were able to determine that the Shadows were vulnerable to telepaths, giving them a vital tool in their fight against the Shadows.

Following in G'Quan's footsteps, G'Kar also began compiling his thoughts and experiences into his own book. This book would be known as the Book of G'Kar, and would eventually beat G'Quan's book as the most influential book on Narn.
