## Biography

### Early Life

Sawyer Batson was the middle child born to Courtney Whitmore and Billy Batson, throughout his childhood his father continued his work as Captain Marvel meaning Sawyer never really saw his father much. While his older sister Harlow excelled in school, he struggled often having to resit tests or having to attend summer school.

This continued until he was 16, when Harlow carried the body of their father into the living room. At that point, Sawyer had already had a strained relationship with his family but the death of Billy caused that relationship to get even worse. Especially with Ester picking up the mantle of Stargirl and Harlow taking over for Billy.

#### Betrayal of the Brother

The next couple of years Sawyer fell further and further away from the family, he engaged in more pretty crime and fell in with the wrong people. Over that time his anger and jealousy grew and well as the greed for a some power of his own. All of this accumulated until one night, for no reason he can remember Sawyer covered the house in petrol and set it up in flames.

It was the action motivated by greed that cause Larfleeze to arrive on Earth, scared that Sawyer would steal his power ring. Unfortunately, he was right after arson, there wasn’t much Sawyer was against doing so he killed Larfleeze and stole his Orange Lantern Ring.

After that he changed his name from Sawyer Batson to Sawyer Fairbairn and managed to pick up an apprenticeship to afford his own rundown apartment. The next time Sawyer saw his sisters though, he had officially become the new Orange Lantern and motivated by the greed of finally having his own powers.

Since then the three of them have fought several times much to his delight, he knows they tried to find him before that first fight but by this point they meant nothing to him anymore.
