Liko is a guest character in the Farscape episode "That Old Black Magic". He was portrayed by Grant Bowler.
History[]
Liko was a shop owner of an unidentified species who lived on a commerce planet ruled by the malevolent sorcerer Maldis. Before Maldis' arrival, Liko was a high priest. When Maldis arrived, Liko tried to resist him with his spiritual powers, but the sorcerer was too powerful to stop and Liko became enslaved with the rest of his people.
Under Maldis, Liko was forced to accept his planet's situation and he opened a shop where he sold various substances and materials. With the arrival of Moya, Liko met Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan, a ninth level Pa'u whose power he quickly recognized. When John Crichton came under Maldis' attack, she suggested combining her powers with his to fight evil sorcerer. Knowing that Zhaan would need to use violence and desire harm on another in order to defeat Maldis, Liko attempted to bring her long buried violent tendencies back to the surface. After some work, he succeeded in doing this and he and Zhaan proceeded to Maldis' bazaar, combining their powers to overcome the magician.
Death[]
Though Zhaan was able to make Maldis corporeal, allowing Crichton to physically attack him and force the evil man's retreat, the attempt caused Liko to give all of his energy to Zhaan. After its completion, Liko's strength was gone and his life draining away. Though Liko was happy in his final moments to have driven Maldis from his planet, he regretted that his death would take him from Zhaan.
