HISTORY
Lurlan Dupo was an alien criminal pressed into service as part of an army of supervillains to stage an assault on Qward during the so-called Crisis on Infinite Earths. Organized by Green Lantern Guy Gardner, their objective was to destroy the white spot on the Dark Moon of Qward. In theory, this would cripple the Anti-Monitor's power. The small army was set upon by the Weaponers of Qward. Things got worse as the villains were pinned between the Qwardian Thunderers and the Green Lantern Corps.
During the battle Lurlan Dupo had the dubious distinction of killing a Green Lantern, an accomplishment he later celebrated with Goldface, killer of Green Lantern Tomar-Re. Under orders from the Guardians of the Universe, they were hunted down by Green Lanterns Arisia of Graxos IV, Ch'p of H'lven and Salakk of Slyggia, with Salakk capturing Lurlan Dupo. The criminals were brought to Oa to be imprisoned in the Oan Sciencells. Green Lantern Vol. 2 #198 - 199
Sometime later, after the Guardians had withdrawn from the universe, events orchestrated by Sinestro caused the collapse of the Central Power Battery, briefly freeing the sciencell prisoners. They were rounded up and transferred back into their individual sciencells. Guardian Appa Ali Apsa remained on Oa as caretaker of the remains of the Central Power Battery.

Months of isolation from his brother Guardians caused Appa Ali Apsa to slowly slip into madness. Appa killed the former Green Lantern Priest for refusing to join in a mind union. The insane Guardian went to the Oan sciencecells to find company. He wanted to join with the prisoners but began killing them one by one out of spite. When he came upon Goldface, the quick thinking criminal made a deal. He promised if Appa Ali Apsa would send him to Earth, he would recruit others to keep him company. Many of the other convicts had the same idea and were spared, and Appa Ali Apsa was later defeated. The current status of Lurlan Dupo has yet to be revealed. - Green Lantern Vol. 3 #18
