Matoo Pree and his wife, Amnee, were chosen on their wedding day to be the Green-Lanterns for Sector 0035. They were among the Green Lanterns sent to Qward to assist in rounding up members of the Sinestro Corps, and the pair was ordered by Graf Toren to stay with Lyssa Drak, keeper of the Book of Parallax, until back-up arrived. Drak knew of the couple, and, noting that Amnee was pregnant, she delighted in telling them the story of the Sinestro Corps member Kryb, who targeted Green Lanterns with children, murdered them, and kept the children in the cage-like hump on her back.
