Ayria was a despotic member of the Green Lantern Corps assigned to protect his home system of Aegri Somnia, composed of three planets. He conducted a reign of terror, and was finally killed by the reanimated corpses of his victims. Despite his atrocities, he was among those whose memories were honored in the Crypts of the Green Lantern Corps on Oa. He was later reanimated himself as a Black Lantern.
