Profiles of JA's Characters & Villains:
  Tourmele
      "I am Tourmele, the greatest knight that ever walked on the Earth."
     As stated by his quote above, Tourmele had a hugely overblown ego, yet he was an excellent knight with skills worthy of the rank of Captain of the Royal Guard in charge of protecting the royal family of the Silver Millennium. So far he had been able to uphold his claims about his skills he boasted about, and protecting the Royal Family of the Silver Millennium was his obsession.
   Yet, there was a huge thorn to his side in form of Prince Endymion of the Earth who had been illegally visiting the Moon. He was always frustrated with Prince Endymion who was able to slip forth and back under his watch, and such slips were getting to be a threat to his reputation as the Captain of the Royal Guard as well as his oversized ego. To protect Princess Serenity from the "evil" Prince  Endymion, Tourmele allowed himself to be recruited by Topaz using the Orb of Time, an illegal artifact capable of time travel.
    Tourmele had a love for Princess Serenity, but being a Captain of the Royal Guard, all he can do was watch her from the distance. During the time of Silver Millennium (a millennia ago), arranged marriages were strictly used for political and well-being of the high ranked families, and such romantic relationships were forbidden.
    When Tourmele was younger, he was rash and obsessed with proving his swordmanship skills, and he was doing well until he had a duel with Admantin, one of well-known veteran knights of the Silver Millennium. He got easily defeated by Admantin, and  Tourmele found himself so blinded by anger and bitterness that he discovered his ability to animate metallic objects by accident. An suit of knight armor ended up missing and Admantin was found murdered. Tourmele was aware of his death, but he did not know of the culprit behind the murder. Since that time, Tourmele had hardened his resolve to be the "greatest knight that ever had existed" and it didn't help that his ego was still growing.

  Tourmele had a power to animate anything metal especially the knight armors and other similar objects. He can mentally control and maintain his army of animated objects as long as he like, but he had to be careful to maintain his range. If they get out of his range, the animated beings will cease to animate. Another  problem with his power was that his powers spread thin among the numbers. More objects he animated, less powerful each object will become.
................................................................................................................
 The Samarai that showed up during JA's Sailor Moon: Usagi and the Red Dress was one of most powerful being Tourmele had animated so far due to the fact that he concentrated all of his powers on the Samurai. The Samurai's mission was to seek and kill Sailor Moon.
  Tourmele declared himself to be the world's most skilled swordman, and he continued to uphold his claims. But sooner or later, his ego will be his downfall as warned by his knight rival, Admantin.
   Tourmele has a love for Princess Serenity, but being a Captain of the Royal Guard, such relationship was forbidden, but he did treasure the rose given to him by Princess Serenity just to cheer him up. Eventually, he was able to give it to Usagi Tsukino.
