Description
Londo Mollari from Babylon 5. Elric: As I look at you, Ambasador Mollari, I see a great hand reaching out of the stars.
The hand is your hand. And I hear sound; the sounds of billions of people calling your name.
Londo: My followers?
Elric: Your victims.

This is a really striking image. Somehow, his hair looks like a tricorn hat from Napoleonic times (was it intentional on the part of the designer?).
Ah, Londo Mollari is clearly being tortured by his victims/followers...He can never really quite forget them. From that link to the Wiki, it seems like he makes the "right" choice in the end at the cost of his own life...

Thanks! I think that comparison (with the hair) was very much intentional. He is a member of a militant race which delusions of grandeur AND an unfortunate habit of conquering their neighbours. So far in the show he hasn't shown TOO much remorse for, frankly, dreadful actions. However, it's clearly chipping away at him. I've not spoiled myself as to the ending - so I'm interested how the show will do it.

Along with his uniform, which looks very Napoleonic as well, that does seem extremely intentional.
Very interesting developments!

Gosh, that's deep. 
And it made me think of "you turn all your friends into weapons" moment from Doctor Who for some reason, not the same story but a similar... mood?

Thanks :"D I was really thinking of Barnabay while doing this, it's true. Somehow skeleton hands are easier than fleshy ones.
I had to look it up to remember that bit (it's been AGES since I saw Dr Who now). I think the quote out of context can give that vibe. However, Mollari is responsible for great war crimes. His own people (soldiers) die... but the great death tolls are those deaths of other races whom he has had attacked. However, the mood of the scenes may be similar, you're right :/ certainly, for Londo, it was a bit of a kick to the teeth.
