Observed by Epsilon 3 alien, Zathras, The One is actually one of a circle of three, according to Minbari lore: The One Who Was, The One Who Is, and The One Who Will Be. Each is a nexus around whom persons and events revolve to create, carry through, and conclude each "Great Story."
As told by Zathras; "You (Sinclair) are The One Who Was, you (Delenn) are The One Who Is, and you (Sheridan) are The One Who Will Be: the beginning of the story, the middle of the story, and the end of the story -- which sets the stage for the Next Great Story."
