VICARS

The name "vicar" is a slang term derived from an old earth device named a "VCR," which recorded low quality video images. One Vicar of note, Abbut, had been in the employ of the Vorlon Ambassador Kosh Neranek many times. He claims to have a psi rating of P23 (untrue) and enjoys Jovian Sunspots.

PHYSIOLOGY
A near-human alien with extensive cybernetic implants. Vicars are essentially living sensory recorders.

PSYCHOLOGY
They seem a little offbeat, which  is probably due to the implants.

HISTORY
The Vicar Homeworld was destroyed by the Shadow Death Cloud during the Shadow War. Very few Vicars exist in the galaxy today.

GOVERNMENT
It is quite possible that the Vicars were a servant "race" of the  Vorlons.
