Who is Qull?

Eons earlier, before the elders of Oa ascended to become the Guardians of the Universe , the galaxy was still awash with the powers of magic. Among the most horrific practitioners of the dark arts was the Empire of Tears , deathless demons of pure evil. The Oans decided that it was the time for technology and science to rule and sought to eradicate the evil of the Empire's magic from the universe. Ysmault was the final battleground in their war. There, the Empire tortured those Oans who were not strong willed enough with visions of ghastly horrors. The Oans who prevailed in the battle, however, were unable to destroy their demon foes. The Oans chained down and crucified the demons on the surface of Ysmault and declared the planet permanently off limits to all. Millennia passed until one day, Abin Sur attempted to aid a badly damaged Ungaran starship that was sent careening to the surface of Ysmault.
