Ganthet
Ganthet is a fictional character in the DC Comics universe, who first appeared in 1992 in Larry Niven and John Byrne's graphic novel Green Lantern: Ganthet's Tale (ISBN 1-56389-026-7). He is also Sayd's husband.
Ganthet is one of the Guardians of the Universe, but much less stern and 'by-the-book' than most of his colleagues. He shows a human-like personality by displaying empathy, kindness, and concern for individuals, rather than thinking only of the Green Lantern Corps. In DC crossover limited series such as Kingdom Come, Ganthet is presented as being part of the Quintessence, a group of gods who oversee their entire universe (or multiverse), yet shows signs of focusing especially on Earth.
The graphic novel Ganthet's Tale by John Byrne (expanded from a story by Larry Niven) tells the story of Hal Jordan's first encounters with Ganthet. Jordan is asked to help him battle the renegade Guardian Dawlakispokpok (nicknamed Dawly), who is trying to use a time machine to change history. In the early era of the planet Oa, Krona attempted to use a device to see the beginning of time, and in using his time machine, 'bled' the universe of a billion years of its potential duration. Dawly intends to use another time machine to thrust Krona to the end of time, to prevent his following through with that plan; however, in battling Dawly, he learns that Dawly is responsible for the mishap of the universe being 'born old'. When Dawly's family is brought before the Guardians, Ganthet shields Jordan's mind, allowing him to retain his memory of one of the biggest secrets of the Guardians.
After the destruction of Coast City during the "Reign of the Supermen" storyline, Ganthet becomes the last of the Guardians after Hal Jordan is driven insane and kills the rest. Ganthet creates a new Green Lantern ring from Jordan's ring and goes to Earth. He appears before Kyle Rayner and hastily hands him the ring, muttering "You shall have to do". During Rayner's first few months as Green Lantern, Ganthet is unsatisfied with him and attempts to take back the ring. Kyle eventually earns the respect of Ganthet by facing Parallax without his ring.
When Kyle Rayner becomes Ion, he possesses more power than Hal Jordan did as Parallax. Realizing that he cannot continue as Ion without losing his humanity, Kyle travels to Oa to recharge the Central Power Battery. By doing so, he creates a new set of Guardians in the form of small children, intending for Ganthet to teach them how to be better Guardians than their predecessors.
When the Martian Manhunter reverts to Fernus, the 'Burning Martian' identity that the Guardians of the Universe had locked away long ago, and attacks the Justice League, Ganthet teleports John Stewart to safety. Ganthet tells John the history of the Burning Martians and teach him a way to 'reroute' his mind to think in the first language of the universe so that he could rescue his teammates from Fernus in a hit-and-run attack.
During the "Sinestro Corps War", Ganthet and Sayd are banished from the Guardians of the Universe for embracing emotions, discovering that they have romantic feelings for each other. Just as Parallax attacks the Lanterns, Ganthet and Sayd arrive and draw Parallax into four separate lanterns, reasoning that the Earth Lanterns had proven their superior ability to overcome fear and the division would prevent anyone from being able to release Parallax again. Ganthet and Sayd go on to found the Blue Lantern Corps, a group powered by the blue light of hope, with Saint Walker and Brother Warth being the first two members.
Ganthet and Sayd then seek Atrocitus and Larfleeze's aid to recreate the "white light of creation" with their saviors. To get Larfleeze to cooperate with them, Sayd offers her servitude to Larfleeze, who expresses a desire of having his own Guardian over Ganthet's protests. Ganthet and Sayd later arrive at Coast City with the Lanterns to aid Earth's heroes. Failing that, Ganthet duplicates Hal Jordan's ring for his own use. Ganthet and Sayd also duplicate the other Lantern Rings, allowing the other six corps to gain temporary 'deputies' to fight alongside the seven already present until the rest of the Corps can arrive.
