Human

Profile:

Lyta Alexander was born on 10th December 2225 on Earth. She joined the Psi Corps at the age of 26 in 2252. While working on the Psi Corps Intern Program she worked alongside Talia Winters. Lyta has also worked as a Psi Cop but disliked her position. As a registered telepath she has a rating of P5.

She became Babylon 5's first commercial telepath on January 3rd 2257. As a loyal telepath she always kept to the rules of the Psi Corps. When Ambassador Kosh was poisoned in 2257, Commander Sinclair convinced Lyta to illegally scan the Vorlon in an attempt to save his life. As a result of the scan Dr. Kyle was able to locate the poison and save the Vorlon's life. After this incident Lyta was recalled to Earth and fiercely interrogated by the Psi Corps in an attempt to discover what she had seen in the Vorlon's mind. Lyta simply stated she had experienced a feeling she could not express in words. six months after escaping from the Psi Corps, Lyta returned to Babylon 5 to warn the Captain that they were under threat from a spy. 'Sleeper spies' as they are known, are programmed with an alternate personality to subconsciously collect information until they are telepathically sent a password to unlock it. Lyta revealed the spy to be Talia Winters and Talia was sent back to Earth. Ever since she had scanned Kosh in 2257, Lyta had always been drawn to Vorlon space. In 2260 she finally got her wish when she returned to Babylon 5 with Kosh from the Vorlon Homeworld, and now works as his aide. She has been a loyal ally of the Conspiracy of Light as she proved later in 2260 when she managed to block a Shadow ship's thoughts long enough for the White Star to destroy it.
