Message: <blockquote data-quote="Orius" data-source="post: 2323080" data-attributes="member: 8863">Londo is a tragic character.  He starts out seemingly little more than a comic buffoon, where G'Kar and really all the Narns as a whole are aggressive, obsessed with vengeance and really not all that sympathetic.Then Londo makes that fateful, Faustian pact with the Shadows.And all hell breaks loose.Londo digs himself in deeper and deeper, knowing what he's doing is wrong, but believing it's still what must be done.  He slowly realizes that Refa and his cadre don't have quite the same goals he does, and he tries desperately to fix the damage he did but in the end it all turns out for the worse for him (as we see in the future scenes in War Without End).G'Kar on the other hand does fight, but comes to realize the futility of revenge.  He seems like little more than a warmonger at the beginning of the series, but after Narn is brutally defeated and conquered, he gradually becomes a more sympathetic character.  I'd say more, but it would involve events in the 4th season, and I don't know how far into it the original poster has gone.</blockquote>
