Ah, the excuses for our dear Bester becoming the weasely little creep we met on B5. So is his obsession with the hereafter or with denying who his parents were? Or both?

This section extends the idea of Bester becoming more about himself and less about the Corps. In many ways, I find him to be as rogue as those he chases but he has a knack for only pushing his limits as far as he's allowed. I think he does care in some way for the Blips, at least more than he cares for Mundanes.

I do agree that he has no heart... I have never seen any part in B5 books or in the series that would convince me otherwise. HIs seeming love for Carolyn(?) was only a reflection of himself. Even when he talked to her when she was in stasis, he was about himself.
