HISTORY

Barin was a young soldier, brave as a part of a fighting unit. He was recruited for the Green Lantern Corps by Boodikka of Bellatrix. Although he would have been a credit to the Corps, Barin was not ready to fight unaided.

He was found by Kilowog after he had been swarmed by space mongrels. The attack overwhelmed Barin, and he lapsed into a comatose state.

The injured Green Lantern was brought to Oa, where he was connected to life support systems. He believes himself to be the Green Lantern assigned by the Guardians to guard the Gates of Hell. His mind replays an endless battle against the demons.

Barin survived the destruction of Oa by Kyle Rayner, and eventually came out of his coma and grew to adulthood. He later became a member of the revived Green Lantern Corps, but died either prior to or during the Sinestro Corps War.

Barin is memorialized in the Crypts of the Green Lantern Corps on Oa.

BLACK LANTERN: BARIN

During the event known as the Blackest Night, black rings desecrated the Crypts. The ring placed itself amidst Barin's remains, downloaded his memories and created a duplicate of his body that rose from the grave as a member of the Black Lantern Corps.

GLCWP NOTE

To me at least, Barin resembles the alien "Smitty" from the "Trial of Superman" arc. :)
