Rafael Volante (? - ?) is an auto mechanic and owner of Volante Auto Repair.
Biography
Volante has a partnership agreement with a Green Lantern power ring. Their arrangement requires Volante to use the ring only in his work as a mechanic, repairing vehicles at his modest shop in central New Minneapolis, Canada, and occasionally going on road trips to aid stranded motorists.
He is known for his socialist values and sliding-scale rates, once famously charging Bill Gates seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars to fix a flat tire on a jet helicopter in-flight
Volante resisted pressure from the Green Lantern Corps to use the ring for galactic crime-fighting purposes, telling Hal Jordan that "Justice, like Charity, begins at home."
Volante bears a striking resemblance to the artist Spain Rodriguez (nonfiction).
Relationship with the undead
Volante as a reputation for providing auto repair services to the undead. Many of these undead reside in neighborhood halfway houses, as they attempt to transition from death to life.
Even the Undead need affordable auto repair. That's why Volante Auto Repair offers sliding-scale discounts based on ability to pay.

Allegations of Fae-enhanced Power Ring
Rumors that Volante keeps a captive Fae in his Power Lantern, in order to enhance his powers and prestige, as well as to satisfy a hunger for power and a thirst for Absinthe, have circulated widely on the Internet.
These rumors appear to have originated in a Facebook comment by software developer and known fabulist Karl Jones:
What if a Fae, drawn by the alluring emerald glow of a Green Lantern Lantern, entered the Lantern to explore further and so became trapped?
If I were a Green Lantern, would I want to fight crime using a Fae-enhanced Power Ring? Yes! Yes I would — ! Very much so!
Also, I would drink Absinthe as I fought crime with my Fae-enhanced Power Ring.
And yes, I would share the Absinthe with the Fae.
