diff.text: After &nbsp;[[Jedite |JadeiteJedite]] (Jadeite) was condemned to Eternal Sleep by [[Queen Beryl]], Neflite was sent to replace [[Jedite |Jadeite]]. 
diff.text: Unlike his predecessor &nbsp;[[Jedite |JadeiteJedite]] and fellow &nbsp;[[Shitennou|commanders]] (ZocyiteZoycite and KunziteMalachite), Nephrite did not believe that the indiscriminate attacks against human beings as the most efficient way of gathering the vast amount of energy required in order to revive Queen Metallia, but rather hypothesises in targeting specific people as a more effective method. A firm believer that human destiny is guided by the movements of the stars in the heavens, Nephrite used astrology to perform inside his operations base (a large mansion located in a wooded area of the vicinity of [[wikipedia:Tokyo|Tokyo]]) intonation with the [[wikipedia:star|star]]'s and its [[wikipedia:constellation|constellations]] in order to help him concentrate his energy into locating individual within the region of [[wikipedia:Tokyo|Tokyo]] that were approaching major turning points in their lives where their "energy potential" would be at its maximum before attacking them. By seeking out such a person and marking an object which epitomises his or her greatest talent with a special symbol - his own personal crest - he could place a [[youma]]&nbsp;(also known as a Negaverse monster or Negamonster)&nbsp;inside of that object which would hasten their interest with the object (to the point of obsession) as they devote more and more energy towards using their object until that person reaches their maximum energy potential. Once this point was reached, he would unleash the [[youma]] from that object and drain that person of his or her energy leaving that person in a coma-like state<ref>URL="http://www.sweetusagi.com/moon/sailorpro/fourgen.htm"</ref>. Nephrite would seek out that person under his established disguise: the human identity of that of a millionaire entrepreneur and socialite - Masato Sanjouin. To match his monogrammed belongings, he was given the pseudonym Maxfield Stanton in the dubbed Northern American version of the anime, which author Patrick Drazen describes as "ridiculously soap-opera"<ref name ="materials">{{cite book |last= Drazen|first= Patrick |authorlink = Patrick Drazen | title= Anime Explosion! The What? Why? & Wow! of Japanese Animation |publisher= [[Stone Bridge Press]] |year= 2002 |month= October |isbn= 1-880656-72-8}}</ref>. As Masato Sanjouin it wasn't long before he found his first victim: a young girl named Rui Saionji (Katy Sandler&nbsp;(Rui Saionji), a gifted tennis player and close friend of &nbsp;[[Molly|NaruMolly Baker&nbsp;(Naru&nbsp;Osaka's (Molly Baker)]]. Posing as a professional tennis coach, NephriteNeflite, offered her some basic advice before implanting a [[youma]] inside her tennis racket via his evil crest. Upon peaking in her energy potential, he released the [[youma]] [[Tensie]] who despite stealing her energy was defeated by [[Sailor Moon]] with a lot of help from [[Tuxedo Mask]]. NephriteNeflite managed to locate his next victim, Mr. Kunitachi&nbsp;Baxter (BaxterKunitachi), who was a gardener for a park. Mr. Kunitachi (&nbsp;Baxter) was perhaps the only victim he indiscriminately attacked where he was able to exploit his rage over the destruction over his beloved park by intensifying his strong feelings. Not only did NephriteNeflite steal his energy but also the energy of the park’s animals through his evil crest which was implanted on his hat and the subsequent release of the [[youma]] [[Petasos]]. However, in typical fashion, [[Sailor Moon]] with help of her [[Sailor Mercury]] and [[Sailor Mars]] and empowerment from [[Tuxedo Mask]] disposes of [[Petasos]] with her [[Moon Tiara Magic|Moon Tiara]]. Similarly the [[Youma|youma]] [[Black Widow]] who was implanted via Nephrite’s evil crest in a piece of material belonging to &nbsp;[[Sailor Moon|UsagiSerena (SerenaUsagi) Tsukino]]'s sewing class teacher Ms HigureHelen&nbsp;Lambert (Helen)Higure Akiyama); and Cameran[[Kyameran]] who was implanted via Nephrite’sNeflite’s evil crest inside the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/camera camera] of the victim KijinPeter ShibakawaFisher (PeterKijin FisherShibakawa) were also disposed of by [[Sailor Moon]]’s [[Moon Tiara Magic|Moon Tiara]].  All the monsters released by NephriteNeflite were also destroyed, some when [[Sailor Moon]] and [[Sailor Mars]] (and at one time, Sailor Mercury) combined their attacks. At one point, he sent [[Leo the Lion]] to try and kill [[Sailor Moon]]&nbsp;(though he survived the battle and was recalled by&nbsp;Neflite), and at another he sent [[Soul Shadow]] to possess Princess Diamond in his search for the silver crystal, believing her to be the Moon Princess.
diff.text: Neflite and [[Zoycite]] disliked each other very much, and Zoycite enjoyed every time Neflite's plans were foiled, in the hopes that Neflite would be punished with “Eternal Sleep” and she would not have to compete with NephriteNeflite in searching for the [[Imperium Silver Crystal]].
diff.text: While he was pretending to be Maxfield Stanton, [[Sailor Moon|Usagi (&nbsp;Serena) Tsukino]]'s friend Molly (''Naru'') fell in love with Neflite, amd his Star Crystal kept reacting to her. In Episode 20, ''A Friend in Wolf's Clothing'', he asked Molly who Sailor Moon's true identity was, saying he wanted to fight alongside the Sailor Scouts against the Negaverse. Hearing this, [[Zoycite]] had three monsters called [[The Plant Sisters|the Plant Sisters]] kidnap [[&nbsp;Molly|Naru Osaka's (Molly Baker)]], but not before she called Serena, whom Neflite assumed (correctly) was [[Sailor Moon]]. He set a trap for her and watched her transform, now able to attack her whenever he wants. Tuxedo Mask arrives at the scene, but at that moment Neflite senses that Molly is in danger, and goes to the warehouse and saves her from the three monsters, nearly killing one of them with his sword. He receives a cut in the process. They think they got away, but the monsters return and one of them, [[The Plant Sisters|Housenka]], stabs Neflite with thorns that, according to her, "will suck his energy and shrink his body to Negadust." The three Sailor Scouts arrive and kill the monsters. Neflite dies and dissolves into dust, leaving only the bandage [[&nbsp;Molly|Naru Osaka's (Molly Baker)]] put around the cut on his arm.

diff.text: The starlight attack was an ad hoc offensive attack performed by Nephrite against [[Sailor Moon]] in episode 23 of the anime (Molly's Folly). The starlight attack would consist of three variations.    The first variation of the attack emitted a large force of energy which originated from the palm of Nephrite’s hand and was used to knock [[Sailor Moon]] to the ground and save the life of [[Molly Baker|Naru Osaka (Molly Baker)]] by splitting the mask of [[youma]] [[Yasha]] into two.   The second variation of the attack was formed as he clasped his hands together and called upon the stars to give him power, then fired blasts of power at [[Sailor Moon]] to again incapacitate her.   The last variation of the attack saw him cross his arms to form multiple balls of light, which orbited in circles similar to a planet's rotation. Upon gaining enough energy would he fire the projectiles at her.    Both the second and third attacks missed [[Sailor Moon]] although it is obvious that it can do quite a bit of physical damage to whatever it hit. Nephrite uses this attack while disguised as Maxfield Stanton, but he can probably perform this attack in his true form. The name of the attack seems to be a reference to the astrological means Nephrite uses to perform intonation with the stars and its constellation. In the original anime, Nephrite would yell "Starlight Attack” before he would attack his target. <ref>URL="http://wikimoon.org/index.php?title=Starlight_Attack"</ref>
