Kreon is a Teban warlord who previously lost an arm and eye in combat and now seeks to end wars rather than start them, in contrast to his militaristic species. [1] [2] [3] He recruits Star Sapphire, who kills over a dozen men before being subdued. Kreon is shunned by his fellow Chieftains, but Hal Jordan sees potential in him and recruits him into the Green Lantern Corps. [4]

Kreon comes into conflict with fellow trainee Boodikka, who he views as barbaric and lacking in discipline. [3] However, the two come to respect one another after John Stewart forces them to face psychic manifestations of their fears. [5]

Kreon is among several Lanterns kidnapped by the Manhunters. He is killed battling them, after which Boodikka inherits his ring. [6] Kreon has remained dead since, but was temporarily resurrected as a Black Lantern in Blackest Night . [7]
