HISTORY
As a pilot in the United States Air Force, Ken "High Life" Arden flew with Carl "Rook" Ferris, Martin "Bishop" Jordan, and Jonathan "Herc" Stone. Together they were known as the Four Musketeers. Stone stayed with the military while the rest went into the private sector. After Martin Jordan's death, Arden started his own aerospace testing facility, Arden Aviation. Jordan's son, Hal, would frequently sneak into Arden Aviation to watch the jets fly overhead.

Years later, after Hal Jordan was discharged from the Air Force, Arden took in his late friend's son in as a mechanic in training under Tom Kalmaku. Jordan never got a chance to fly for Arden, as the business had been in a slump and Arden was nearing retirement. The company was soon sold to Ferris Air. As part of the deal, Arden stipulated that Ferris would keep Jordan on as a mechanic. - Green Lantern Vol. 4 #30
