So the Keepers can't deviate from the drakh plans? That's what I meant.

They are a biologically engineered A.I. that know what the Drakh they were initially attached to want. They want the same thing as their parent Drakh. The Drakh want the same as the Shadows, who have left the galaxy, and the Drakh revered; to sew chaos, destroy their enemies and maintain power.
Ok that's a lot of detail. Where did you find they were a biological AI?
The term used was a genetically modified engineered symbiont.
OK cool. Was that ever mentioned in the show? It seems like something I haven't heard.
Some of it is mentioned in the show, some is mentioned in the B5 Legions of Fire books.
Ok that makes sense. I don't mind spoilers but did The Good guys ever defeat the Drakh?
I remember being really disappointed about halfway through “Soul Hunter”, when it became apparent that they didn’t all talk that way, and instead were just these normal-seeming guys.Hey I like the soul hunters
It’s kind of understood that they did, even though the war itself isn’t directly shown, even in the novels.
Ah ok..
Vorlons and Shadows
Two elephants playing a game which they have long ago forgotten why by using young races as actual pawns. These manipulators are the actual master culprits of all that has happened to the main races.
The Narn lost all their telepaths, the Centauri were goaded into reclaiming lost glory and the humans were deceived to become fascist dictators by the Shadows and the Vorlons, instead of directly opposing the Shadows, used other races they built up as cannon fodder for their game in the guise of elevating and teaching them going as far as to alter their genetic code to make them more susceptible to Vorlon influence.
