HISTORY

One of the Green Lanterns of Sector 2684, Quond was partnered with Tanakata Z. Little is known about their service records. The pair assisted Green Lantern Vath Sarn of Rann during a natural disaster on the planet Staphis in Sector 2682.

- Green Lantern Corps Vol. 2 #2

After a disturbing incident on Procyon 8, Quond's partner Tanakata Z visited Green Lantern Mogo for counseling. Over the years, many ring wielders had entered Mogo's therapeutic forests, but unbeknownst to all, Mogo was infected by a member of the Sinestro Corps. Those that visited Mogo were unwittingly subjected to mind-altering spores.

Some time later, Tanakata Z and Quond were in the Clustral system. They were attempting to stabilize the orbiting environment that had been disrupted by anomalous matter discharge from the white dwarf star in the center of the system. Honor Lantern Guy Gardner was sent by Salakk to assist, but Gardner was in a foul mood as his shore leave had been cancelled. Tanakata Z claimed Gardner would take all the credit, while he and Quond were doing all the work. Appealing to his pride, Tanakata Z was able to get Quond to stand up against Gardner. He finally convinced Quond to abandon their post. Gardner could not leave as Clustral was in jeopardy. Tanakata Z and Quond went back to their sector house to relax while Gardner angrily completed the difficult mission without any assistance.

The details of Quond's final hours are not available as ring logs were erased. It is believed Quond was murdered by Tanakata Z in an attempt to frame Guy Gardner. The Honor Lantern sought out Tanakata Z and Quond at their sector house to bring them in for court martial. He found Quond dead and Tanakata Z mortally wounded. Before he died, Tanakata Z told Sector 2682 Lanterns Vath Sarn and Isamot Kol that Gardner had killed them both.

It was later learned that Tanakata Z had been infected by mid-altering spores during his visit to Green Lantern Mogo’s therapeutic forests. Guy Gardner was cleared of any suspicions.

Quond was memorialized in the Crypts of the Green Lantern Corps on Oa.

BLACK LANTERN: QUOND
