Skyrd is from the Multu Cluster, a collection of planets in the back of a bleak and dark sector. Years ago, Skyrd was injured when the Central Power Battery on Oa exploded, during the attack of the renegade Guardian Krona. He was pulled from the debris and revived by Tomar-Re. He swore a life-debt to him, but after Tomar-Re's passing, he transferred that debt to his son, Tomar-Tu. Tomar-Tu released Skyrd from any debt.
