Prince Vintari? (TLT)

Well lets hope he goes the Centauri way and tries to get the better of others.

EA vs. Centauri yay.


BTW or more importantly when does this TLT timeline play out?

Does anyone know if prince Vintari ever does start a war with earth?

Thanks,
Knight of ne

In 30 years, he will start a war against the one power that can stop him...

Well, no-one knows if the course that Sheridan takes is the right one, but I did snicker when he said `then I will set it right`... as he`ll be dead / gone / disappeared for 20 years at that moment.
 
Well he did mention he'll come back to fix his mistake if it comes to war, and I believe according to the rangers when Sheriden disappeared at his 'death', that he'll come again so who knows.

This lost tale does open the speculation that there might be more B5 stories about David and Vintari as they grow up and so forth.

Makes me wonder also about how they grow up, I mean David was said to be 9? And Vintari, if we take the actors age into account, might be 23 so perhaps Dius is responsible for helping David escape from the Drakh.
 
Considering his circumstances I always thought that:

"Do you know a way off this rock?"

would have been more amusing, but then again since he had an answer to that question not very accurate...

did david get caught by the drakh then? and when? i know he had a keeper for a short period of time but then thats all explained out in the legions of fire trilogy.

Dius had nothing to do with it, nor is he around apparently in later years.

David is a characterin the Centauri trilogy novels. It is explained that after getting his keeper attached to him (from londo's vase) that David goes to Centauri Prime (under keeper influence) and is captured to lure Sheridan and Delenn to Centauri Prime to be executed by the Centauri (by order of the drahk pulling strings).

*spoilers for end of the novels*

David is let go by Londo in exchange for Sheridan and Delenn, which he later releases as seen in War Without End Pt.2 . David has his keeper still but they keep it knocked out with drugs and they get the help of Doctor Franklin who determines the Keeper can only be removed by killing the Drahk who created it and has the telepathic link to the Keeper. With the help of Vir, Garibaldi ambushes the Drahk Shiv'kala who is the Drahk who put the keeper on Londo in Season 5. Garibaldi shoots the drahk and Vir gives the killing blow for revenge for Centauri Prime and Londo. When the Drahk was killed the Keeper basically died and came off of David.
 
oh that kidnap, knew about that one, thought perhaps he had been kidnapped again or something as that one had been resolved :D
that story also produced one of the best B5 lines fron garibaldi
"whats up drakh" laughed out loud when i read that :D
 
But thats the thing, when the books were written the Vintari character was not there and now he has been introduced so surely he might have some impact in the future; after all he is the third in line for the throne.
 
Well he still doesn't appear in the storyline around those years. The books cover many years though, and really I highly doubt the prince spent most of his life on Minbar with Sheridan and folks. He might have hanged around for a while and visited, but doubt he was to become a member of the family. The the books whose outlines were made by JMS himself and all approved by him are basically canon.
 
I very much doubt that the character of Vintari existed in JMS' mind before say 2 years ago (ie he invented him for the Lost Tales) and wasn't part of the Great Maker's "1000 years of plot arc"

His keeper compells him to travel to Centauri Prime. Vir, and the Legions of Fire spirit him back to his folks. When Vir ascends the throne, Shiv'kala the Drakh who is responsible for Davids keeper, gets dry gulched by Garibaldi. He dies and his keeper dies with him. It's a fun read if you can find it. You can't beat a line like "What's up Drakh". ;)
