Ganthet is a member of the Guardians of the Universe, a race of diminutive, blue-skinned beings, who gathered together sentients from across the universe, known as the Green Lantern Corps, to combat evil. The Corps served the Guardians for uncounted millennia.
Ganthet often found himself disagreeing with the other Guardians and believed that they had to act to protect the Corps they created while the other Guardians desired to use the Green Lanterns to do their dirty work. When Hal Jordan absorbed the Main Power Battery of Oa, the Guardians were too weakened to preserve themselves or the Green Lanterns. They finally agreed with Ganthet that they had to act and they chose him to be the last remaining Gaurdian. The Guardians all committed suicide, transferring their energies to Gathet. It was now Ganthet's responsibility to reform Hal's power ring and bestow it on a new Green Lantern.
He gave it to freelance artist Kyle Rayner but later reneged, claiming he was unworthy. When Hal Jordan returned, intent on reestablishing himself as Green Lantern, Ganthet gathered Earth's mightiest heroes to battle him. When they failed, Ganthet offered himself to Jordan, who then drew Ganthet's essence inside himself.
On a recent trip to the 30th century, Kyle Rayner was incapacitated. Ganthet reappeared and gave the ring for a short time to Cary Wren, Kyle's descendant.
Now the sole adult occupant of a renewed planet Oa, Ganthet is responsible for raising a new generation of Guardians of the Universe to adulthood.
