Brakiri

I do not know much about the Brakiri except for what they look like even though they are a MAJOR part of the League of Non-Aligned Worlds and have appeared in many episodes. They are one of the most humanoid-looking races of the B5 universe, being basically human except for some odd face-bones and lots of wrinkles under the eyes, it's hard to describe (just see the picture) and tend to have dark hair, which both genders seem to wear long. Like humans, they can go bald and/or grey with age. The better-dressed males evidently like to wear snazzy pin-striped suits. (?)
They celebrate a version of the Earth holiday "El Dia Del Muertos" (or "Day of the Dead", also the name of the fifth-season episode in which we see this) but I am not sure WHY as I have not seen that episode. They consider comets to be a horrible portent of death, the very worst one in fact. If you tell a Brakiri that you have seen a comet, you have not only just THREATENED him with death, but also his entire "Water-Clan".
The Brakiri Ambassador is a small, slight man with long dark hair down to his shoulders, but I don't know if he's typical of the species appearance or not.
Little has been said about their government, but they seem to hold no small sway within the League of Non-Aligned Worlds.
They are a rather over-emotional and often superstitious people, given to wild outbursts and sudden attacks of paranoia, but overall seem to be mostly harmless. (But then again, that's what they said about EARTH!)
