Origin
When Hal Jordan (Green Lantern II) was separated from the spirit of vengeance known as the Spectre it became a wayward soul without a human conscious to keep it in check.  After a rampage against the world of magic the Spectre eventually realized that it must re-anchor itself to a human host.

Soon after the shooting death of Gotham City police detective Crispus Allen the spirit of God's vengeance made the offer to Allen's wandering spirit to become a force of divine justice by merging with the Spectre.
