NEPHRITE |
Nephrite was the second general commissioned by Queen Beryl.
He replaced Jadeite. He was tasked to get even more human energy.
Nephrite was more cunning and meticulous than his predecessor.
His moves were strategic and well-planned. He used astrology, consulting
the stars before choosing his victims. He
discovered his enemies' weaknesses through this method as well.
Nephrite would pose as a human, under the alias
"Sanjouin Masato". As Sanjouin, Nephrite was able to acquire even
more information. He also disguised himself as Tuxedo Mask on
some occasions.
Nephrite is so powerful that he almost succeeded in killing
Sailor Moon, and even Zoisite did not want to have a one on one
confrontation with him. Nephrite also discovered Sailor Moon's secret
identity.
Nephrite's downfall resulted from
Zoisite's plotting and falling in love with one
of his human victims, Naru Osaka. Nephrite redeemed himself
by sacrificing his life to
protect Naru from the Dark Kingdom's minions. He assured
Sailor Moon that her secret would be safe with his dying breath.
