|- |   Who is Vaylen? 

Hi, first time creator, long time reader. I have been using Wiki for years and years and I finally have decided to contribute to my favorite site where I see gaps in the immense knowledge.

So, why Vaylen? I chose my new user name to honor one of my favorite characters from Science Fiction.

Valen was an early religious leader of the Minbari from the Sci-Fi TV show Babylon 5. Vaylen transforms Minbari society. His name is spoken reverently ("In Vaylen's name" being the Minbari equivalent of the human expression "Oh my God") a thousand years later. Although the common spelling of the name is 'Valen', I have found people seeing this in written form tend to mis-pronounce the word as if it is used in 'valentine' or 'Richie Valens', hence because the name was never shown in written form in the show, I changed the spelling to 'Vaylen' and nobody has pronounced it incorrectly since.
