Story history — History and later developments — spoilers
Ashel Sabian Formata begins as a farmer from Arata whose wife is killed by vampires. His subsequent Lantern career returns to horror when Scar sends him to search for the Anti-Monitor. He meets Saarek, and their discoveries lead toward the Black Lantern threat. The secondary chronology identifies Green Lantern #42 for this later chapter and notes that their deaths are not fully shown.
Reference scope: The secondary profile supplies the spelling Formata, the Quarterly origin and later #42 reference. DC’s collection link is surrounding Blackest Night preparation, not independent verification of Ash’s biography.
