## History

### Silver Millennium

Queen Beryl first rose to prominence on Earth during the era of the Silver Millennium. A powerful sorceress loyal to Queen Metalia, she turned a large percentage of Earth's native population against their neighbors on the Moon. Eventually she assembled an army, led by the Shitennou, which staged a surprise attack on the Moon Kingdom.

Despite Prince Endymion's attempts to warn them, the Moon Kingdom was devastated by the attack, which led to the deaths of Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus, Princess Serenity, and Endymion himself. The advance was only halted when Queen Serenity, at the cost of her own life, used the Silver Crystal to destroy the advancing armies and seal Metalia away. Beryl and her Shitennou perished in this retaliation.

While Princess Serenity and her guardians were sent into Earth's future to be reincarnated, Metalia's seal was eventually broken, and her followers were reincarnated as well. Now confined to a cavernous base at D Point in the Arctic, Queen Beryl took up command once more while Metalia slumbered. She ordered the Shitennou to determine the current whereabouts of the Silver Crystal and to collect energy from humans that could be transferred to Metalia, with the goal of eventually reviving her from her sleep. These operations eventually led to the awakening of the Sailor Senshi, who were soon the only obstacle between Beryl and world domination.

### Present

Despite her attempts and her generals' work, Beryl kept losing to the Senshi. However, Beryl did manage to take a prize during her war: Endymion, who was reincarnated as Mamoru Chiba, and had helped Sailor Moon fight in his guise as Tuxedo Mask. She brainwashed him and proceeded to implement her plan to cover the Sun with sunspots, plunging the world into darkness and amplifying Metalia's power just enough that she could take the Silver Crystal from Sailor Moon.

### Final Battle Against Sailor Moon

The Senshi eventually found the enemy's location, and after they dispatched Kunzite, Beryl decided to get rid of them once and for all. As they approached her headquarters, she sent the DD Girls to kill them. Only Sailor Moon survived the onslaught, and Beryl brought Sailor Moon into her throne room, intending to have the Senshi meet her death in a sadistic, ironic way: at the hands of Endymion, who had been her lover in the past life.

However, Sailor Moon managed to free Endymion from his brainwashing, and Beryl's attempt to kill the Senshi backfired, leaving Endymion dead and her mortally wounded. Desperate to get help, Beryl went to Metalia to get more power, only to be absorbed by Metalia to form the entity called Super Beryl.

As she started to destroy the world, she was confronted again by Sailor Moon, who transformed into Princess Serenity and did battle with her. At first, Super Beryl seemed to be winning because Princess Serenity was uncertain about using the Silver Crystal's power. However, after she thought of her friends, their spirits appeared to help her in the battle, and Princess Serenity created an attack so powerful that it destroyed Super Beryl, cleansed the Earth, and granted her last wish: for the Senshi to become normal people again. After that, Queen Beryl was no more.
