Costumed Personality: Sinestro is a man of contradictions. He puts on a mask of cool, calculated intellect in most situations, preferring to stand back and observe until he is sure of the details of any given situation. However if one were to break through the mask and threaten the well-being of his friends or family, they would find a much different Sinestro. Still calculating and brilliant, but suddenly driven by passion and hell-bent on protecting his loved ones. Sinestro would do anything to defend the people he calls his family, and is not afraid to let those who would do them harm know that. After all, fear can be a powerful tool if wielded correctly...

Sinestro is fiercely loyal to the Green Lantern Corps and to the ideals put forth by the Guardians. Though he may harbor secret doubts about some of their methods, and hold concerns about their ways of doing things, he would never speak of those out loud; except to his most trusted friends. He would do anything to help strengthen the Corps, and has volunteered for many dangerous missions in his quest to keep other Lanterns safe.

Civilian Personality: Sinestro has no disconnect between his Lantern personality and his normal one, Sinestro is simply Sinestro.

Biography---------

Character History/Origin: Thaal Sinestro was born on the planet Korugar to a high-born family. He was given the best of everything as a child, from entertainment to education. He took to his schoolwork like a fish to water, and quickly proved himself to be a prodigy among his people. Perhaps fearing that their child would be unable to defend himself from bullies, his parents made sure to give their son an education in self-defense and conflict management as he got older. Though these skills were never as developed as his keen mind, Thaal showed an aptitude for those lessons as well.

As he got older, Thaal was inundated with offers and promises of scholarships, research grants, anything he wanted. Eventually however, the young man decided to pursue a career in the Korugan military, helping his people devise battle strategies and options while taking care to make sure his plans would always minimize the number of casualties. Thaal's plans worked incredibly well in simulations, and the few skirmishes the Korugan military got into always turned out better when they adopted his unorthodox strategies. Even when questioned by his superiors, Thaal would always defend himself and his plans with an air of confidence and certainty. This eventually attracted the attention of the Guardians of Oa, who were looking for a new Lantern to patrol the Korugar sector.

Upon being brought to Oa and meeting with the Guardians, they found that Thaal Sinestro had an incredibly strong will, allowing for his sureness of mind and heart that he had shown his whole life. Therefore, he was considered the perfect candidate for a Green Lantern Ring. Thaal took to the Ring and the power it provided even better than the other challenges he had been given in life, quickly proving himself as a powerful Green Lantern. Soon he had completed his training and was sent back to Korugar with a new mission: The defense and safety of every man, woman, and child in the sector. During these early days with the Green Lanterns, Thaal met Abin Sur, and the two would grow to become fast friends over the years.

Thaal governed the Korugar sector with wisdom and a strong hand, as he believed the Guardians wanted him and the other Lanterns to do. Under his watchful eye, crime and violence in the sector dropped drastically, and peace began to settle in to his home. This was when his friend Abin Sur contacted Thaal, telling him of a prophecy; revealing details of an event called The Blackest Night. Abin Sur was worried that the prophecy would come to pass, and that it was in fact on its way, but Sinestro was unconvinced. Abin vowed to find out more of this mysterious prophecy, and promised to contact his friend with the information. That was the last time Thaal and Abin ever spoke.

Abin Sur disappeared during his hunt for the Blackest Night prophecy, leaving Sinestro worried and confused about what could have happened to his friend, and a powerful Green Lantern. Since then, he has begun to dedicate time to improving the Green Lantern Corps itself, offering to train its members and beginning to mentor promising rookies. No Green Lantern will disappear again, not if he has anything to say about it...
