The story

The orange light of avarice could have powered an army. Instead it powers one being: Larfleeze, who found it, claimed it, and has refused — for the rest of time — to share it with anyone.

The Guardians, who wanted no war over the Vega system, made a pact: leave Larfleeze and his hoard alone, and he'll stay on Okaara. It's held for eons. Mostly.

Larfleeze's 'Corps' is the strangest in the universe: every Orange Lantern is a stolen identity, a construct of someone Larfleeze killed and couldn't let go of. Avarice doesn't recruit. It takes.
