Thaal Sinestro was once the idea that new recruits to the Green Lantern Corps looked up to. He was charismatic, a natural leader, and a brilliant tactician. Responsible for some of the Corps' greatest victories he earned the trust of the Guardians of Oa, granting him access to history and knowledge hidden from his fellow Corpsmen.
Yet Sinestro had a dark secret, one he carefully kept from his masters on Oa. He cared little for the goals of the Guardians, finding them watered-down and ineffective. Indeed, his views on law & order were far more rigid, more resembling Controller ideals than Guardian. In his home sector, he was a tyrant, crushing all dissent and executing those he felt were dangerous to his new order.
In the end, it would take an investigation by a newly-recruited human, Hal Jordan, to reveal Sinestros treachery. Promptly severed from the Central Power Battery, an arrest order was made, but the Korugaran managed to evade capture. He disappeared into the worlds beyond Known Space, where he plotted his revenge.
Having learned about the Weaponeers of Qward, he found a means of traveling into the Negative Zone. There promised the Qwardians vengeance against the Guardians in exchange for their aid. Giving them his de-powered ring and knowledge of the emotional spectrum, he tasked them with recreating a ring that drew on an emotion that was more suited to tastes: Fear.
With his new Yellow Power Ring, he ventured back into the Prime Universe, coming to Earth to seek out his revenge against the Green Lantern of Earth. Over the next few years, he would be a thorn in the side of Jordan and the rest of the Green Lantern Corps. It was all a ruse, however; a ploy to keep them distracted as the Qwardians constructed something larger - a Central Power Battery.
Before the Guardians could act, aliens from throughout the universe were visited by Yellow Power Rings, praising their ability to instill great fear. The Universe soon had a new Corp dedicated to bringing fear and order to all peoples. A Corp that deserved to be named after the man who willed them into existence: The Sinestro Corp.
Recently, Thaal Sinestro sought out a new power source in his crusade against the Guardians. Attempting to use the First Ring to draw the Anti-Life power of the Invisible Spectrum, he was captured by members of the Mythic Avengers. In his stead, his daughter Soranik Natu has taken his father's surname, and as Soranik Sinestro has taken leadership of the Sinestro Corps.
