Gideon is a soft-spoken, brooding man who knows his strengths and
weaknesses. He is fiercely loyal and puts his duty before all else. An
extraordinary man who can explode into action without warning, he does not
care who is offended when he does what he feels is right. His captaincy
was controversial, but his character qualities make him the right choice
without him being overbearing. Gideon is sure and direct in his duty.
GALEN:
A Techno-mage who was forced to leave his order and their secret
hiding place when he tried to warn the alliance about the Drakh invasion.
Galen accompanies the mission but prefers to stay aboard his own ship,
separating himself from the crew of the Excalibur. He is the mysterious man
in black, with a melancholy aura that reaches out to you. His every word is
precise, crisp and delivered with a laser like intensity. His satirical one
liners and prophecies of doom illustrate a secret and pensive persona.
However, Galen is also a thing of beauty to behold, his sure purposeful
stride and bearing make him suave and sexy.
DUREENA NAFEEL:
A member of the notorious Thieve's Guild, she is proud of her abilities
as a pickpocket, lock-pick thief and tunnel rat. The Drakh destroyed
Dureena's planet while she was off world and so she joined the Excalibur to
help find a cure for the plague and find her revenge. She is tough and
capable, strong and witty, yet she is vulnerable and soft. She too, has a
melancholy side and is highly loyal to those she calls friends.
LT. JOHN MATHESON:
After the Psi-Corps disbanded, Matheson was the first telepath to be
allowed into the Earth Alliance. He is serious, steadfast and earnest in the
performance of his duties. He is committed to his duty aboard the Excalibur
but shows endearing flashes of humor. While being able to read minds, he
never allows himself to intrude upon others in this way. He is totally
dedicated to Matthew Gideon.
DR. SARAH CHAMBERS:
As the head of the Excalibur's medical department, she is a dedicated
professional. Facing the extinction of mankind, she tenaciously seeks a cure
for the Drakh Plague, as her sister is on the poisoned earth. Yet, despite her
drive to find a cure, she clings to her humanity, as a voice of reason and
morality. She expresses a true love of life and does not appear to be
judgmental.
MAX EILERSON:
He is a cynical, self-serving mercenary employee of the Interplanetary
Expeditions. His main goal in life is finding and making a profit from
artifacts. However, he is unavoidable evil that is needed on the crew as he is
a brilliant xeno-archaeologist and linguist. He is repressive and eccentric,
but has a dry sense of humor that stops him from being too unbearable.
