Eddore participated in many adventures with the Corps. He served as part of the invasion of Qward to destroy the Anti-Green Lantern Corps. Eddore was part of a "psychodrama" designed to test Hal Jordan's capabilities as a Green Lantern.

'mouse note -

Like Arisia, Eddore was named after a planet in E.E. "Doc" Smith's LENSMEN series of novels. The Eddorians were rather amorphous amoeboids, but unlike the kindly Green Lantern Eddore of Tront, "Doc" Smith's Eddorians were evil. Thanks to Cubist for the information, I haven't read the books... yet.
