Powers: Bur'Gunza's primary weapon was his power ring, which was virtually identical to the power rings used by the Green Lantern Corps, except that it only utilized the yellow range of the spectrum, tapping into the emotional energy of fear. Bur'Gunza’s power ring was capable of doing almost anything he could imagine. Examples of its’ powers include flight, phasing, creating giant objects formed of energy, and force fields. 

History(Green Lantern / Sinestro Corps: Secret Files #1) - Bur'Gunza seemed to be a model prisoner of the prison planet Takron-Galtos, but he was merely biding his time. On the day of his release he murdered 42 guards before being taken down. Bur'Gunza was chosen to be a member of the Sinestro Corps for his ability to instill great fear.

(Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps Special #1) - Sinestro gathered Bur’Gunza and the Sinestro Corps on Qward. Sinestro laid out their mission of using fear to make the chaos of the universe bend to their will, and to replace it with law and order. Their first step was to burn anyone thst would oppose their plan, so they had to destroy the Green Lantern Corps. They brought Kyle Rayner to Qward and stripped him of the Ion entity. Sinestro made Kyle feel fear, and infected him with the Parallax entity, which he then presented to his guardian, the Anti-Monitor.

(Green Lantern IV #22) - Kyle / Parallax battered Hal Jordan, who'd come to Qward to battle the Sinestro Corps, promising him he’d feel the same fear his father felt before he died. Bur’Gunza and the Sinestro Corps joined the battle, threatening to overwhelm Hal. Parallax told him the GLC despised him and had abandoned him, but just then the Lost Lanterns appeared, to save him. Parallax killed Lost Lantern Jack T. Chance, and Hal and the remaining Lost Lanterns retreated to Qward’s underground catacombs.

(Tales of the Sinestro Corps: Cyborg-Superman #1) - Warworld approached Earth, and Sinestro laid out his plan of disabling the JlofA to Cyborg-Superman, and tried to get a rise out of him by mentioning the possibility of an encounter with Superman. Cyborg just mused that he was long past taunts, or wanting revenge, and he looked forward to pursuing his agenda of the end of all life and betraying Sinestro. Bur’Gunza and the Sinestro Corps damaged the JlofA satellite, battered the League, and Warworld entered Earth’s orbit.
