Rhys Montague Darby (born March 21, 1974) is a New Zealand actor and comedian. He served in the New Zealand army before embarking on a performing career. In 1996, he formed the comedy duo "Rhysently Granted" with Grant Lobban, quickly carving a niche for their unique brand of humor. Darby's solo stand-up routines, characterized by vibrant storytelling, mime, and sound effects, garnered him recognition and two Billy T Award nominations. Darby's international breakthrough came in 2007 with his role as Murray Hewitt in the HBO comedy series "Flight of the Conchords." Since then, he's appeared in films like "Yes Man," "What We Do in the Shadows," and "Jumanji," often injecting his signature comedic flair into supporting roles. On television, he's had recurring roles in shows like "Short Poppies," "Wrecked," and animated shows such as "Voltron: Legendary Defender." From 2022 to 2023, he starred in period romantic comedy series "Our Flag Means Death" as a fictionalized version of pirate Stede Bonnet. The show was praised for its LGBTQ+ representation, including the romantic relationship between Darby's Bonnet and fellow Kiwi Taika Waititi's Blackbeard. This was not only Darby's first role as a main protagonist, but also his first foray into dramatic acting. Beyond acting, Darby is also an author. He has written three children's books for his "Buttons McGinty" series as well as an autobiography titled "This Way to Spaceship." Additionally, he's been the host of the cryptozoology podcast "The Cryptid Factor" since 2008, alongside Dan Schreiber, Leon 'Buttons' Kirkbeck, and previously, David Farrier.

Eons ago, at the beginning of the universe, the natives of the planet Oa were among the first beings to come into existence; a race of immortal, immensely powerful aliens who seek to maintain order and balance for all species. The Emotional Spectrum, a series of bioelectric way-lines criss-crossing the universe, was a source of great disorder and the Oans harnessed its power to create the Force Batteries. The entities of the Emotional Spectrum, the energies made sentient, were trapped within as the Batteries were scattered to the farthest reaches of the universe, except for the Green Battery of Willpower, whom the Oaxanians used to create the Power Rings, the weapons of their peace-keepers, the Green Lantern Corps. Now known as the Guardians, the remaining Oans recruited the living planet Mogo to distribute their Power Rings across the 3600 sectors of space to living beings with strong-enough connections to the green of the Emotional Spectrum, so they can be recruited into the Green Lantern Corps.
