The Lance family are prominent residents of Star City. Captain Quentin Lance is a long-serving member of the SCPD; his ex-wife Dinah is a professor of Greek and medieval history at Central City University. Their oldest daughter, Dinah Laurel, works with the DA's office. Both of their daughters, Laurel and Sara, had romantic relationships with Oliver Queen; Sara joined Oliver on his ill-fated sea cruise, stealing him back from her sister, and was assumed dead when the ship sank. In reality, she was rescued by Dr. Anthony Ivo, who recruited and trained her to aid in his search for Mirakuru. She met Oliver again during his time on Lian Yu, turning against Ivo, and was later taken in by Nyssa al Ghul, becoming a member of the League of Assassins and Nyssa's lover.
