Pa'U Zoto Zhaan
Delvians are a highly spiritual race, thoughtful and peace-loving. Zhaan had reached the 10th Plateau in the Delvian Seek,
a search for perfect understanding and unity with all life. As peace-loving and gentle as Zhaan strove to be, she carried a
dark burden. Because her lover, a leader among the Delvians, was proceeding with plans to give control of their world to
the Peacekeepers, Zhaan murdered him in a manner most cruel. During an intertwining of her lifeforce with that of her
lover -- an encounter both spiritual and sexual -- she used her spiritual powers to overwhelm him and kill him, an act that
nearly drove her mad. In prison Zhaan brought herself back from insanity step by small step, nurturing a higher, wiser
power in herself that could keep the dark forces in her soul under control. Zhaan chose to expend nearly all her hard-won
spiritual energy in a quest to restore Aeryn Sun to life. She succeeded in raising Aeryn, but Zhaan was fatally weakened in
the process. ("Season of Death") While Stark and the rest of the crew searched for a planet where Zhaan's plant physiology
could recover, she herself grew resigned to a peaceful death. When disaster struck Moya once more, Zhaan seized the chance
to save the ship and crew she loved by sacrificing herself.
