The Imposing Rookie Attacks
The Imposing Rookie Attacks

Very little is known of the past of the Green Lantern who has come to be known as Turytt. What is known, however, is that he hails from the space sector 786 and is the successor of KE'Haan of Varva. If he comes from the same planet, it has not yet been revealed. Turytt takes his duties as Green Lantern very seriously and he has shown to have been greatly hurt by the betrayal of the Corp by Hal Jordan and especially the death of his predecessor. As a Green Lantern, his first duty was to inform KE'Haan's family of his demise, sharing their grief he vowed to put an end to the one who had been responsible for his death.[1]

[edit] Rookie Green Lantern of sector 786

While Turytt is not as experienced in the use of his ring as Guy Gardner, John Stewart or Hal Jordan, he is one of the few rookies to have almost completed his training as he sports the Green Lantern emblem on his belt as opposed to an empty spot like those still in training. His reputation has also caused him to become favored by female rookie Lanterns.[2]

He finally caught up with KE'Haan's murderer on Oa and confronted the senior Lantern. Hal Jordan tried to reason with him, but instead, he introduced himself and proceeded to instigate a fight with both Jordan and Guy Gardner. Hal Jordan would have easily made short work of him with his ring, but instead he refused to fight back. Guy Gardner, however, had no such problems and Turytt found himself knock out by a well placed punch from Gardner.

His "rookie" fans then proceeded to attack the senior Lanterns despite the fact that he had not recovered. Along with the rest of the rookies, he was reprimanded by Kilowog and Salakk who gave him and his 'groupies' seventy demerits for their behavior.[3]

Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner returned the Defenders of Oa and it is unknown how he will react to the return of his predecessor and the other Defenders of Oa.[4]

Turytt was seen during the debate over Laira's killing of Amon Sur.
