Best looking Vorlon

I like Ulkesh's encounter suit better than kosh's. The sharp curves worked well for ulkesh. It also looked more modern than Kosh's. The suit Kosh wore had a lot of moving parts. Kosh's suit was probably out of style in Vorlon culture. Ill even bet that the other Vorlons said to Kosh "Your suit has always been here."
 
I never liked Ulkesh at all. My first impression of Ulkesh was that of dislike, pure and simple. So, I suppose I put Kosh on top, if we are ranking them in any way.

Never really thought of Vorlons as 'good-looking,' or 'better-looking' as compared to others.

I liked Kosh out of his suit... goin all angel style (even though that wasn't real, but I liked it anyway). So I'll have to say... Kosh... and naked

I'm an Ulkesh girl myself.
I thought he acted more the way a very old, very advanced race should.

I liked Ulkesh's encounter suit better, but overall, I think I liked Naranek better.

I also think that Ulkesh looked cooler. It must have been the new suit design - better colour, sleeker lines.
Too bad he only appeared in a few episodes.

I dont exactly know if it was said in the show, but Kosh is the original vorlon and Ulkesh is the second one.

"I really hate it when you do that"

"Good"
 
Ulkesh was a Vorlon mention outside of the show, I think as Kosh Narnarek's compatriot. This might have been in the In the Beginning novelization. When asked JMS said the second was Ulkesh.

Kosh Narnarek, aka Kosh 1, aka good Kosh

Kosh Ulkesh, aka Kosh 2(puns abound), aka evil Kosh

Yeah... you never realize how nice the first one is until you see the second one!

Actually Ulkesh was Ulkesh Naranek... which raises the question what does Naranek mean.
Ulkesh was also see in WWE 1... he was the Vorlon Ambassador on Minbar and played a role in To Dream in the City of Sorrows.

I like them both, they both were so alien and they fit the personality of each of them very well. Kosh's suit was less sleek but was much more warm and not as threatening or as ominus as Ulkesh's. My Multiverse GM character, Kosh Narakesh, has a blue encounter suit that combines the best aspects of both suits

Ulkesh was probably Kosh's heir or right hand vorlon. I never liked Ulkesh, his suit's head was too small, he wasn't as mysterious and wise as Kosh. Ulkesh also was the embodiment of the Vorlon's agression and their more human side. I can't respect Ulkesh mostly because he took Kosh's place, but not for me! Kosh will still be the cuddly Vorlon teady-bear that I want to hug and snuggle, erm, I mean...Err....Damn.

I think they balanced each other out, there personalities. I beleive Ulkesh needed Kosh to keep him under control to an extent or at least balanced and I think it went both ways.

They respected each other but they also had oposing views.

Ulkesh thought Kosh was weak and Kosh feared what Ulkesh would do without Kosh around as balance.

Was that Kosh and Ulkesh when B4 went back in time and Valen met the 2 Minbari with the Vorlons behind him?
I forgot but I think so.


Oh Yeah Kosh is better looking just because his personality Shines through especially seen in dreams.
