From Sci-Fi Wire:

Kristin Lehman, who co-stars with Vin Diesel in the upcoming SF movie The Chronicles of Riddick, told SCI FI Wire that her character will share a bond with Diesel's antihero. "I play the only other Furyan in the film," Lehman (TV's Strange World) said in an interview. "Vin is, as we know, a Furyan. And this, of course, is the odyssey for him, to realize who he is, what he comes from, what his odyssey is. And I am the Furyan who brings that out in him. I come to him."

In Riddick, the follow-up film to 2000's Pitch Black, viewers discover that Furyans are a mysterious and vanished race of people who stand as the universe's only countermeasure to the rapacious Necromongers, who are sweeping through the galaxy. "You've got to see the movie to see what a Furyan is," the Canadian-born Lehman said. "That's the planet that they come from, Furya. And the movie is all about [Riddick's] finding out (and us finding out) what a Furyan is. And as you know, [the Chronicles of Riddick is envisioned as the first of] three films, so hopefully this one will be spectacular, and they'll want to make more and more, and we'll get to delve more and more into the culture and the people and the characters."
