Editing Guardians of the Universe (section)

==Guardians known by name==
It has been said that "Guardians do not take names", yet when [[Krona (comics)|Krona]] invaded Oa in the ''[[War of the Green Lanterns]]'' story-arc, he revealed that all Oans have names but have since forgotten them. Nonetheless, a few of their lot have been named in the stories.<ref name="gl64">''Green Lantern'' (vol. 4) #64 (March 2011)</ref> It was eventually revealed that the reason for the Guardians having forgotten their names was because they had removed their own emotions to defeat Volthoom.<ref name="gl5.17"/> Among them:

* '''Appa Ali Apsa''' – A Guardian who was chosen to experience life on Earth. He later renounces his Guardian title, powers and immortality, and chooses to travel the universe. Later, after ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]'', Apsa loses his mind and is killed by his former brethren. In post-''[[Flashpoint (comics)|Flashpoint]]'' continuity, Apsa is a member of the Circle, a group of powerful beings that also includes [[Sardath]], King Myand'r of [[Tamaran]], and Lord Gandelo.<ref>''The Man of Steel'' (vol. 2) #1</ref>

* '''Valorex'''<ref name=dc9 />
* '''Pale Bishop''' – A former Guardian of the Universe who turned his back on his kind when they started to use the Emotional Spectrum and instead founded The Paling, anti-emotion religious monks called Pale Vicars who turn people into emotionless followers. He is later killed by Sinestro.
* '''Rami''' – Apparently the creator of the power rings, in his first attempt, he created a ring that can channel any light and can be used by any bearer which was later nicknamed as the "Phantom Ring", however because this ring was not without flaws, he later created other power rings that can only channel the green light of the Emotional Spectrum. The other Guardians of the Universe were later forced to excommunicate him over his creation of the "Phantom Ring". He was recently accepted back into the Templar Guardians.
* '''Gurion''' – A Templar Guardian. Considered deceased by his brethren after his DNA was forcefully harvested by the Controllers who changed him into one of them.
* '''Paalko''' – A Templar Guardian
* '''Reegal''' – A Templar Guardian. He was killed when the Guardians travelled to the Chamber of Shadows where they met Reegal who asked his kin whether they had saved the universe. However, the Guardians claimed that circumstances had changed and that they required the First Lantern. This went against the oath that the Hidden Ones had taken as they were well aware of the danger posed by the First Lantern if he was freed. Thus, they attacked the Guardians as they intended to honor their oath. During the battle, Reegal's throat was slit by one of the Guardians and the Hidden Ones were shocked as a result which allowed the Oans to take the First Lantern from the Chamber. When Black Hand was teleported into the Chamber of Shadows, he discovered Reegal's body in the outer corridor of the chamber. The Black Lantern resurrected Reegal as an undead being so he could interrogate him about the location of the prison.
* '''Quaros''' – A Templar Guardian. Instead of assisting Kyle Rayner and his kin after Relic's defeat, he felt compelled to journey through the universe and discover its secrets. Of the Templar Guardians, he is said to have the most insight into the workings of the cosmos. He died in Green Lantern - New Guardians issue 34.
* '''Yekop''' – A Templar Guardian. Considered deceased by his brethren after his DNA was forcefully harvested by the Controllers who changed him into one of them.
* '''Zalla''' – A Templar Guardian.
* '''Kada Sal''' – A Templar Guardian. He was killed in Green Lanterns # 50.
* '''Natos''' – A Templar Guardian. Considered deceased by his brethren after his DNA was forcefully harvested by the Controllers who changed him into one of them.
