Abin Sur was originally a family man and a professor of history on his home planet of Ungara. Some time in the 1860's, he succeeded Waverly Sayre as Green Lantern of Space Sector 2814. Since then, Sur became one of the most senior of Lanterns and the most loved. On the first day of training, Sinestro mistook Abin Sur for someone from Korugar. They became best friends and later teamed up to stop a civil war on Korugar. Unlike Sinestro, Sur believes in destiny and often quotes the Book of Oa.
Atrocitus, of the Five Inversions, told Sur of a prophecy that Sinestro would unite the most vile murderers and deviants of the universe into a corps of fear. They would participate in a war of light and kill off the Green Lantern Corps and Guardians of the Universe. Sinestro's throne on Oa would be built with their bones. Abin Sur scoffed at this revelation and believed Sinestro was destined for far greater things. Sinestro, too, was told this story and believed the Green Lantern Corps was too galvanized and bound in trust to fall. In time, Sur fell and passed his ring onto Hal Jordan, of Earth. Sinestro later told Arisia Sur's story.
