One of the best sharpshooters in the Green Lantern Corps, Artois was pulled out of training duties to serve on a team hand-picked by Honor Guard Lantern Guy Gardner. Their target was an ancient foe of the Corps called the Gigorr.
Planning to confront the Gigorr near a Sector House, they soon came under attack by the beast as Lanterns Kruul and Squillic were swallowed whole. Sacrificing his life, Artois pushed aside Gardner and Lantern Theodoric before they too became victims. Artois and approximately fifty Lanterns before him, was quickly absorbed into the Gigorr's stomach lining as the beast fed upon their power ring energies. Gardner and Theodoric were unable to save their fellow Lanterns as separation from the Gigorr was fatal. They incinerated the beast from within, forever ending the threat. The power rings of the deceased Lanterns were now free to seek out their successors.
A fallen Lantern, Artois will be memorialized in the Crypts of the Green Lantern Corps on Oa.
