Ares Bandet of Xarda served as the Green Lantern of Space Sector 2167. Bandet distinguished himself as a heroic and fearless officer while serving in the war between sound and light. This war was waged on the very fringes of the third dimension. Tales of Ares Bandet’s actions spread throughout the Green Lantern Corps and the brave Lantern was justly recognized by both his fellow Lanterns and the immortal Guardians of the Universe. As recognition for his deeds, the Guardians awarded Ares Bandet the prestigious Emerald of Malthus in a ceremony held on Oa. The ceremony was attended by nearly six hundred of Bandet’s fellow Green Lanterns; all on hand to witness the Guardians convey this high honor on one of their own.
