Hmmm. I was always under the impression that by this time ten years after the war, they knew his identity and sent Delenn to guide him toward the actions that would make him Valen. But perhaps not.

No, I don't think so... don't forget the Minbari in Delenn's quarters who recommends she kill him if he figures anything out. They know something was up with Babylon 4, but they until "War Without End" I don't think they ever put all of it together.

If not for the Minbari in her quarters, I'd argue with you *grin* but I agree. I don't think they'd kill Valen under any circumstances!

Perhaps... but if he was reincarnated once, maybe he'll be reincarnated again. And possibly in a properly Minbari instead of one of those smelly ape things.

This is true! A real Minbari would be SO much better!

I was under the same impression, but perhaps Delenn and Sinclair hadn't known the specifics. Sinclair is related to Valen in some way, and Delenn knows that, and maybe they finally knew the truth when WWE rolled around and they both opened the chests.
