The wiki says "He rejected the vanity shown by many upper-class Centauri by refusing to wear a wig during his visit to Babylon 5" but this doesn't appear to be sourced.– Harry JohnstonCommented Oct 14, 2017 at 16:54

@HarryJohnston - Coming of Shadows. - "2x9: The Coming of Shadows recap: On Centauri Prime, Prime Minister Malachi informs Emperor Turhan that everything is ready and the Royal Liner is standing by for departure. Turhan tells Malachi that he will remain on Centauri Prime, ignoring his friend's objections. Malachi warns the Emperor that his condition is delicate, but Turhan believes that he can wait no longer. Turhan refuses to don his traditional Centauri wig and thanks Malachi for his service"– ValorumCommented Oct 14, 2017 at 16:59

1Are we to take, then, that the "peacock hair" is not the Centauri natural hair and that they just wear wigs to show off their status?– komodospCommented Oct 18, 2021 at 8:28

@colmde The wig was more likely due to age/hair loss. The style and length of the hair/wig was about status though.– suchiuomizuCommented Oct 18, 2021 at 19:40

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
