Albert Dekker was a ruthless businessman.
History
WPA chose Alan Scott's company instead Dekker's to build a railway bridge. As revenge, Dekker sabotaged the bridge, causing the train to derail, just while Alan Scott himself was in a train. All the passengers were killed, except Alan, who was protected by an ancient railroad lantern. The green train lantern spoke to him and bequeathed him the power of the Green Lantern. Alan used his newfound power to forge himself a power ring and take vendetta against Dekker. Dekker died, seemingly, of heart attack while Alan Scott was flying and holding him.
