Profiles of JA's Characters & Villains:
  Topaz
        "I want to strangle that intellectually defective girl for destroying my base."
   Because of his ugly and deformed appearance, Topaz was considered one of most inferior creature on the world of Black Moon where most Black Moon members judge by just their appearances, and yet despite his poor treatment, he upheld the cause of the Black Moon. Saphir (Sapphire) and later, Taffe were the only ones who treated him as a friend. Saphir was so impressed by Topaz's scientific knowledge that he put his knowledge to a good use.
   Because of his deformity, he was very inferior in terms of both physical and power capablities, but his brains made up for his weaknesses. He built many machines needed to keep the world of Black Moon functioning using materials provided by Saphir. He couldn't speak, but he can link telepathically with the hovering translator droid built by Topaz for purposes of verbal commuciations.
      During the crisises, he would be so busy with building and running the machines that he didn't have time to bathe, nor to sleep, as a result, he smells awful and always weary. 
   The people of Black Moon had became so addicted to the negative powers of the Wiseman that they can't survive without Wiseman's powers. They began dying when Sailor Moon destroyed the Wiseman, but Topaz was able to save what remained of the Black Moon clan by inventing the life support devices that used Saphir's dark crystals to sustain the people of Black Moon. Due to the limited supply of the dark crystals, Topaz had been devising plots to free his people from the addiction to the dark crystals, and the Sailor Senshi and the Silver Crystal ended up as his targets.

   His intelligence compensated for his weak and deformed body as well as lack of dark powers. He used his scientific knowledge to invent and build anything to suit his needs, but he tend to do anything alone. Because of that, what he built tend to be very simple meaning that any robots he built will look boxy or goofy, and often lousy so unlike those fancy-looking mobile suits of Gundam Wing.
  Saphir was the only one known to have treated Topaz with respect and appreciate his knowledge of science. Often, Saphir and Topaz worked together to build many things needed to run the Black Moon as well as the fleet of UFO spaceships. Taffe later started to appreciate Topaz in spite of her problems with some aspects of Topaz's irregular personality.
   Topaz had his own personal UFO spaceship that acted as a manufacturing factory and because of that function, Topaz's ship was eight times larger than Rubeus's UFO ship. Topaz earned his tactical advantages over the Sailor Senshi by forcing them to enter his ship. All he did was have Tourmele kidnap Usagi Tsukino and bring her to his ship.  Topaz was responsible for manufacture of the UFO spaceships used by Prince Demand to carry out his war against the Earth.
   Rubeus and Topaz's ships were the only ships capable of time travel.
   Topaz also built a refueling base hidden on the dark side of the moon which always face away from the Earth, and its purpose was recharge the fleet of UFO spaceships arriving from Nemesis in preparations for the siege of the Earth. Fortunately for the people of Earth, the moon base was somehow destroyed (Sailor Venus's fault), and the fleet of UFO ships were left half powered. But Prince Demand was too arrogant for that, and proceeded with his war against the Earth resulting in unnecessarily heavy casualties.
   Since Topaz had to handle inventing and building by himself, he rarely had any time for double-checking and maintaining anything he built (he even didn't have time to bathe!). Because of that, malfunctions were common, and some were life threatening. Taffe always had to remind Topaz to double-check anything he intend to use.
