Xenon of Castor 6, from the Pan-galactic Bureau of Investigation (PBI). In 1997 Xenon investigated reports of "alien impersonation" on Earth, such as the Heaven’s Gate tragedy. He or she helped avert future incidents by teaching Earthlings about the true nature of life throughout the galaxy. A microbial pleomorph, Xenon takes on many different forms; this is how he last appeared on Earth. Image courtesy of Wayne Barlowe, Barlowe's Guide to the Galaxy |
