History
Arkillo is recruited by Sinestro to join the Sinestro Corps,[1] which is based in the anti-matter universe on the planet of Qward.[2] He is the drill sergeant of the new corps where, according to Wizard Magazine,[volume & issue needed] he consumes any of the Corps' weak members.
He battled Kilowog, the Green Lantern drill instructor, on Mogo, only to be buried under falling rubble.[3] When he faced Kilowog again, Kilowog crushed him with an aircraft carrier.[4] Kilowog then removed Arkillo's ring (and whole finger). During an argument, Arkillo's tongue is ripped out by Mongul, which forces him to speak through his ring.[5]
Post-Flashpoint
When a member of the Yellow Lantern Corps suddenly dies, Arkillo follows the ring to Earth, where he discovers rings from all seven corps have selected Kyle Rayner to be their bearer.[6] Along with Rayner, Blue Lantern Saint Walker, Star Sapphire Fatality, Red Lantern Bleez, and Munk of the Indigo Tribe, Arkillo travels to Oa to ask the Guardians of the Universe about the phenomenon. The Guardians attack the Lanterns, who are rescued by Larfleeze, the Orange Lantern.[7] The group retreats, and Saint Walker uses his ring to restore Arkillo's tongue.[8] When the group battles Archangel Invictus, Arkillo tries to protect Walker, who he considers a friend[9]. Having departed the Orrery, Arkillo is shocked to learn that the Sinestro Corps have fallen apart during his isolation in the Orrery,[10] returning to Korugar to search for answers. Learning from the Weaponer that Sinestro and Hal Jordan destroyed the Sinestro Corps power battery, Arkillo is provided with an independent yellow lantern forged from the fear of the Korugarans to continue his rage against the universe[11].
