Ganthet (Earth-1352)

"Of all we Guardians have accomplished, the power ring is our greatest achievement, the most powerful weapon in the universe. Hal Jordan, I was never more important than you. Did you think it an accident Abin Sur granted you his ring? You were our best hope then, and still are today."

- - Ganthet to Hal Jordan

Ganthet is one the oldest and wisest Guardian of the Universe, and, among his brothers, one of the ones who regret the approach to forbid other emotions aside from Willpower, believing it not only weakened his race, but also the Green Lantern Corps in the face of dangers through the universe. He is a good friend of Hal Jordan, and recognizes his great strength and will of justice.

Early Life
Ganthet was born as one of the Oans, also known as the Guardians of the Universe, as one of its oldest. He was one of the original of his race to be skeptical with the manipulation of the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum, believing it would draw them to a sense of responsibility they would never be able to cope with. As a result, the Guardians became emotionless aside from their willpower, and Ganthet's fears were confirmed, although he lacked any will to change his siblings' minds.

Birth of Parallax
Upon the birth of Parallax when it absorbed Krona, Ganthet and his brothers desperately fought against the creature, ultimately freezing it in an icy prison within the core of the planet Ryut at Sector 666.

Return of Parallax
"We are aware of the threat, and we are assessing the situation. While you assess the situation, innocent lives will be lost. Let me take the fight to this new enemy."

- - Ganthet and Thaal Sinestro

When Parallax resurfaced and in the process slayed Abin Sur, one of the Green Lantern Corps' finest warriors, Ganthet, alongside the rest of his siblings, gave permission to Thaal Sinestro form a tactical squadron of Royal Guards to take the fear being down. However, they failed, and only Sinestro survived, albeit narrowly, which led him to question Parallax's existence. This led the Guardians to create the Yellow Power Battery, an essence of fear, so the Corps would defeat Parallax with his own energy.

However, before Sinestro crafted the Yellow Power Ring, Hal Jordan emerged in an attempt to convince the Guardians to give him the change to stop Parallax from invading Earth, as he believed using the energy of Fear once again would only replicate the corruption the Guardians fought so hard to halt. Upon noticing his extreme willpower and courage, Ganthet and his brothers agreed with Jordan's terms.
