Thank you! That system would work wonderfully with what I had in mind for him, and how he'd feel obliged to his family in many ways without ever really knowing them. Plus why he won't say anything about his life before Babylon 5. It's strange that nobody in the fandom's written about it, or at least not that I've ever seen, when it's a big blank space on the canvas and you'd expect someone to want to fill it in.

Speaking of fic - I read 'Redemption', finally. Perfect dynamic and Lennier not dying and an actual happy ending, and... yep, I loved it :)
