History
Edit
Earth Minbari WarEdit
Amis was part of an infantry surveillance unit that was ordered to observe a Minbari outpost on a lifeless moon. Landing before they finished the perimeter scanners, the group set up camp in some old ruins and commenced their observation, but it wasn't long before things went wrong. The men begun to notice that something strange was in their camp. During the night, a presence of some kind appeared and tortured the men's minds before killing them in a particularly grizzly manner (extracting their internal organs etc..). Amis was kept alive as a "snack" and drained somehow. When the rescue party arrived, Amis was severely malnutritioned weighing only eighty-five pounds. However, the deaths at the listening post were blamed on the Minbari. Despite a recovery and awards, he never really felt like everything was right and that the creature never left him somehow. After leaving Earthforce, Amis soon fell onto hard times.
On Babylon 5Edit
Amis came to Babylon 5 sometime prior to 2259, he eventually managed to loose everything and became a lurker in downbelow. When the Earth Sleeper Ship Copernicus emerged from deep space, Amis sensed what was onboard it. After a crazed attempt to warn everyone, he was taken into custody by station security and had to be tranquilized. Garibaldi then let him go. When strange things began to happen including a death, the aliens and the station personal acknowledged the situation. Garibaldi then allowed Amis to show him where it was but came up short. He and Garibaldi then talked about their experiences in the war; he sympathized and started to believe him, but he ran off. When station security finally agreed to act, they organized a hunt. Amis was found being lifted into the air by the creature. They opened fire and it dropped him but was not defeated. Sheridan suggested trapping it but Amis knew better. He broke away and lured it into the open using himself as bait. It then appeared and attacked him. Sheridan and his party opened fire paralyzing it and forcing it to leave the station. Amis was then freed of his terror. It is not known what happen to him afterwards.
