No, I wouldn't say Lennier is a bridge in any sense along those
lines.

Delenn, you must understand, is a True Seeker, and among the
religious caste there isn't much more admirable than that...combined
with the fact that she *did* fulfill prophecy, she *was* the chosen of
Dukhat, she *did* help end the Shadow War...yeah, she's had some
problems here and there, but what important leader doesn't? Any one of
those items would be a sufficient crown on a lifetime of
achievement...the cumulative effect is quite daunting and impressive.

There are elements of the true seeker in many of our characters;
Sinclair for one, G'Kar certainly (now that he's been enlightened a
bit), and Sheridan didn't start out that way, but in his own stumbling
way has slowly begin growing into that.

No, many Minbari share in those traits.
