The dying Yalan Gur fled into Earth's upper atmosphere, where he merged with his lantern-shaped power battery as he died. The Guardians of the Universe thwarted Yalan by adding a new weakness of wood to his ring, which allowed the club-wielding villagers to overwhelm their oppressor and mortally wound him. Without this limitation, however, he was corrupted by his power, and he came to Earth and enslaved the people of China. In the lantern's story, Yalan Gur was once one of the greatest of the Green Lantern Corps, and, in the 10th century by Earth reckoning, the Guardians of the Universe chose to remove the customary weakness to the color yellow from his power ring. After tracing the projection to Scott's home, the lantern tells the story of its origin (effectively retconning the origin of Alan Scott's power). While Alan Scott, along with the rest of the Justice Society of America, is trapped in Limbo, his mystic lantern sends a projection to Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, and John Stewart (the Green Lanterns of Earth at the time). He is a red-scaled, reptilian humanoid, assigned to sector 2814 (Earth's sector) in the 10th century. Yalan Gur is a Green Lantern introduced as part of an effort to reconcile the Golden Age Green Lantern's origin with the later introduction of the Green Lantern Corps.

And this is where we meet him in the film. I have met that place many times where I don’t know if this is the right move, but I’m just trust it. Understand fate is calling him and is he going to step up to the plate and accept it? A lot of us meet that place. We aspire to be like in real life, but also where we meet him in this film he’s trying to discover who he is.
Those are the things a lot of us aspire to, myself included. Him trying to be, not even trying to be, him actually being somebody who is willing to put his life on the line to protect those that he loves. “I relate to both equally for different reasons, but for John Stewart it’s just his morality.
