He offered them two gifts with one being the book of sacred symbols that were a set of morals that govern Martian life and the other being the Staff of Kolar which was a psychic weapon. Deimos chose the symbols but Phobos chose the staff which angered H'ronmeer who was disappointed that one of his sons chose a weapon. Thus, he banished Phobos to the underworld where he had children that were said to had become the White Martians. M'yrnn J'onzz was a Green Martian high religious leader and a prime servant of H'ronmeer with him being entrusted with the staff that was a powerful psychic weapon.
