The Death Entity. The universal personification of oblivion--the absence of all light, life, and emotion. Nekron is the shadow cast by the light of life and emotion. For eons, he was trapped in the Land of the Unliving, a kind of limbo dimension where dead souls linger before judgment, but the death of the immortal Krona brought the universe of the living to his attention. He seeks to bring an end to all life, extinguishing the light of emotion and bringing the universe back to its original state of being: darkness and death.

During the final battle of the [[Sinestro Corps War]], one of the female Guardians of the Universe was burned by the touch of the Anti-Monitor. This fundamentally changed her, to say the least. She soon began exhibiting suspicious behavior, including goading her fellow Guardians into increasingly dubious decisions regarding the GLC and emotion, manipulating other Corps into conflict with the Green Lanterns, and dispatching agents to locate the corpse of the Anti-Monitor. All the while, she secretly began composing a "Book of the Black", chronicling those who would play a role in the upcoming [[Blackest Night]]. It was evenutally revealed that she had been ''killed'' by the Anti-Monitor and was now Nekron's agent in the land of the living. She was destroyed during the Blackest Night by Hal Jordan and the New Guardians, who combined their individual lights into white light, obliterating her.

The Life Entity--the living embodiment of the White Light of Creation, the being who represents life itself and, indeed, brought life into existence. The Entity came into the universe through unknown means and found itself on Earth, where the process of evolution was sparked. Over the eons, its progeny--the lesser entities of the emotional spectrum--manifested, while the Entity itself slept in Earth's core. The Entity is the opposite of Nekron, the yang to his yin.
