==Early Life and Career==

Sheridan, born on [[Earth]], was the son of an [[Earth Alliance (Babylon 5)|Earth Alliance]] diplomat. Having enlisted in [[EarthForce]], Sheridan rose to the rank of lieutenant commander. Sheridan was offered the first officer position on board EAS ''Prometheus'', but he turned it down because the Captain had a reputation for recklessness. EAS ''Prometheus'' was the ship that fired on the Minbari ships during Earth's disastrous first contact with that race.

Later, he briefed his staff on some of his experiences on Z'ha'dum. Sheridan revealed the truth of the [[Shadow War]]. At first, two races of First Ones, the Shadows, and the Vorlons agreed to remain when most of the other First Ones left. The two races would guide the developing younger races. For a while, the two races abided by rules that had been set down. But eventually, the two races began to have their differences. The Vorlons believed that strength and evolution only came from order. The Shadows believed that the only way for races to evolve and become stronger was through conflict. Over time, the two races became diametrically opposed to each other. Eventually, hostility broke out between the two races and their respective allies.

The Shadows and Vorlons would not directly engage each other in combat but instead used the yonger races as pawns in their fight against each other untilluntil finally Sheridan confronted them both. With [[Delenn]], he led the alliance of Humans, Narn, Centauri, Mimbari, and the league of non alinged worlds, known as the army of light, against the [[Shadows (Babylon 5)|Shadows]], ultimately leading to the point at which Lorien confronted the Shadows and Vorlons and told them that they must depart with the last of the [[First Ones (Babylon 5)|First Ones]] "beyond the rim" from the galaxy, this was in early 2261. They did so and left the galaxy in the hands of the younger races (Mimbari, Humans, Narn, etc.) with the instructions to oversee the younger races as the Vorlons had done before them.
