#9 - Hidden Morro
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/3/2/AAblU3AAD6X8.jpg
Morro doesn't socialize.

The Green Lantern of Sector 666, Morros duties are largely ceremonial in his sector, a location largely devoid of crime or evil thanks to the largely empty regions that make up that portion of the universe. Instead, Morro is well-respected for the vigil he keeps in the Halls of the Fallen on Oa. Morro is an unusual being, alien even to his home sector, in that he believes in the Guardians mandate despite the acts which led to the destruction of his home sector, eons ago. For Morro, there is important work that must be carried out by the Corps, so that the fate of his sector can never be duplicated again. Once a nomadic desert world dweller, Morro has brought with him to Oa two dratures, reptilian creatures which help to stoke the flames which eternal light each memorial on Oa.

So what if the top ten is chock-a-box full of Lanterns? My list, my rules, and if you've got a problem with that, you can have a permanent schedule of Manchester for the rest of the campaign. Let's see how YOU like it. Me? I'm going to espouse the virtues of Morro, my main mortuary man, the guy of the graveyard a memorial miser to memorialize. Morro's story is the tale of isolation, eternal, miserable loneliness, the origins of which stretch into a time before tales, stories, legend, even myths. Imagine existence was defined by heinous tragedy, Brobdingnagian cataclysms where body counts can't even be measured in the billions. It's been said that 1 death is a tragedy and 1 million deaths is a statistic. 1 trillion deaths stretches far beyond the ability of a mind to rationalize, to consider that the Manhunters piled up corpses in estimation a number that would rival the stars in the sky above. Death became a sector, and a sector became death. One billion years later, and Morro provides a glimmer of hope and light to the dead zone of the universe, Sector 666. But in that bright spark of possibility there remains a soul chained to the sins that have kept down race after race of natives in a place where silence fills the gulfs between worlds. Eternal grieving - that is Morro's life's work. Even in escape from the grave of the universe, Morro takes his newfound power and serves as the guardian of Lantern's dimmest construct - the Crypt of the Fallen. Noble though his vigil may be, guided by the warm embers expelled by his dratures, Morro is held hostage by a great evil that was inflicted upon a number too numerous to even understand. 1 is a tragedy. 1 million is a statistic. 1 trillion is the end. Now, the 666 is simply epilogue.

Eighth is enough for our next ranking.
