History:Back in the Silver Millennium, Nephrite acted as one of the four guardians to Prince Endymion. Nephrite and the other guardians were very suspicious of the Moon and how the people there were always watching them. In their desire to protect their prince, they allowed themselves to be manipulated by a woman named Beryl, who was in love with Endymion, who brain washed the guardians to work for her. Firmly controlled by Beryl, they launched an attack on the Silver Kingdom. When Endymion was killed, all the generals expressed shock and sadness.
In the present day, Queen Beryl and her Four Kings of Heaven are reborn. All four of the guardians feel as if they need to find their real master and aid him although they have no memory of their previous life. Nephrite was the second General to be sent against the Senshi after Jadeite was sentenced to the Eternal Sleep by Queen Beryl for failing him too many times.
Nephrite believed that he would be able to gather more energy using one person at a time instead of big groups like Jadeite. He thus used his mysticism with the stars to pinpoint people who were at the peak of their energy in order to drain them. While on earth he disguised himself as Masato Sanjouin, a wealthy businessman and socialite. This allowed him greater movement to be able to seek out those he needed to drain energy from.
During the course of his search for the Silver Crystal and his quest to destroy the Senshi, Nephrite met a young girl named Naru. He believed her to be Sailor Moon as the Black Crystal he had created to track down the Silver Crystal was reacting to her. However, what he did not realize until later was that the Black Crystal was reacting to Naru’s love for him. He eventually comes to love her in return and saves her from Zoisite at the cost of his life. He died defending her from Zoisite and his minions.
