Biography
Grayven was a male being who claimed to be a son of the New God Darkseid of Apokolips. According to him, Darkseid at some point targeted Grayven's homeworld and crushed it beneath his heel. He paused briefly in his conquest where he spent time with one of the female natives before departing. Unknown to him, he fathered a child who was named Graven and whose existence was unknown to Darkseid. The child was unaware of his heritage until as a boy he was by his mothers side on her deathbed where she confessed to him about his New God heritage. Upon learning the truth, he came to seek recognition as he believed his heritage was denied to him. Thus, in the years that followed, he gathered an army under his banner which he intended to use to subjugate Apokolips and take Darkseid's throne for himself. (Green Lantern v3 #75)
From the galaxy's outer rim, he and his followers ravaged twelve worlds where billions of inhabitants were killed with nineteen Darkstars slain in the process with their next target being Rann. (Green Lantern v3 #74) Grayven had intended to use the Zeta Beam as a means of transporting himself and his armies for the invasion of Apokolips. Upon arriving, he and his forces battled the few remaining Darkstars along with the last Green Lantern Kyle Rayner. Though overpowering his foes, they managed to trick him into the Zeta Beam sending only him to Apokolips leaving his army leaderless and resulting in their surrender. (Green Lantern v3 #75)
