Sometime after the Blackest Night, the Indigo Tribe placed a new name on their roster for recruitment into the Corps- Thaal Sinestro. Destruction of the Battery Converting Sinestro After the army of the dead was defeated the Indigo Tribe took their leader Black Hand and inducted him into the Indigo Tribe, unknown to the other Lantern Corps who still sought to locate Hand. The Indigo Tribe went on to assist the universe in the defense against the Black Lantern Corps during the Blackest Night.

Natromo kept himself isolated from the Tribe and the rest of the universe as he waited for Abin Sur to return with news of the Third Army, completely oblivious to the ongoing events in the universe. Īfter the formation of the Tribe Abin Sur died and his ring went to Hal Jordan of Earth. Abin foresaw that the Guardians of the Universe would try to bring order to the universe with a successor to the Green Lanterns known as the Third Army, Abin believed this threat would be unbeatable so created the Corps in order to make the Guardians feel compassion before it was too late.

However this isn't what Abin needed the Indigo Tribe for, instead he needed it for what would come after. Ībin foresaw a time when the dead would rise and consume all life in an event known as Blackest Night.

The true reason Abin created this Corps wasn't to bring redemption to criminals, but instead the Indigo Tribe was meant as an army for a prophecy. Natromo also converted the Indigo font into the Central Power Battery of the Indigo Tribe, which would power all of the rings and force their wearers to constantly feel compassion. Natromo forged more rings of compassion for the killers, nether joining their ranks. Ībin Sur travelled the universe and picked up more remorseless killers to fill the ranks of the Indigo Tribe. Iroque became Indigo-1, the first member of the Indigo Tribe, guardians of the Indigo light of compassion. Abin put the ring on Iroque's finger which flooded Iroque with great remorse as she wept for hours, regretting every bad deed she had ever done. After the ring was constructed Abin left the planet and returned with a woman named Iroque, a remorseless killer who had murdered Abin's daughter. Natromo and Abin Sur eventually constructed a Power Ring out of the Indigo Light, this would be the first Indigo Power Ring of compassion. Together Natromo and Abin Sur learnt that the Indigo light was connected to the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum and that this font was an example of the rarest light in the spectrum, the light of compassion. One priest decided to teach Abin Sur about the Indigo Light, his name was Natromo. Eventually Abin Sur and the people of Nok were able to defeat the slavers, with many of the Nok people returning to their homes in the forests. When the people of Nok dipped their weapons in this light the slavers they hit became overcome with remorse for a short time. Eventually the people of Nok found a font of Indigo Light in a cavern which originated in the core of the planet. However a Green Lantern named Abin Sur defended the people of Nok from the enslavers. One day a race of alien slavers came to the world and attempted to force them into a life of work. The planet Nok was a peaceful world populated by an indigenous species.
