HISTORY:
The Green Lantern of Xanshi first came into conflict with Toomey IV when that planet sent a military expedition to Xanshi. The Green Lantern quickly dealt with the invaders and sent them back to their homeworld.
On Toomey IV, archivist Arkkis Chummuck discovered the Green Lantern's weakness to yellow. Arkkis falsified records to gain the use of a spaceship to lure the Green Lantern into battle. Wearing yellow power armor, he was able to defeat the Green Lantern. During their battle, he had unintentionally mortally wounded the Xanshi Green Lantern.
As his death approached, the Green Lantern of Xanshi was obligated to pass on his ring to a worthy successor. The ring selected Arkkis Chummuck, and the Green Lantern gave Arkkis the ring voluntarily and justly. As is his race's custom, Arkkis ate the remains of his enemy to give honor to his death.

On Oa, Green Lantern Malet Dasim considered Arkkis a murderer. Dasim charged a tribunal of Green Lanterns to cast out Arkkis as a disgrace to the Corps.
Arkkis was defended by the nest brother of the deceased Green Lantern of Xanshi. The power ring had been passed on to Arkkis in accordance with the rules of the Green Lantern Corps. He was found innocent of the charges.
