Mamoru(Darien) is a strong, athletic and intelligent man. He lives alone and attends college in Tokyo, where he hopes to become a doctor. When we first met him, Mamoru was an annoying guy who just loved to tease Usagi. Mamoru always made remarks about Usagi's grades, weight and of course her hairstyle. After awhile, it was discovered that Mamoru is also the hero who aids the Sailor senshi in their battles--Tuxedo Kamen(Tuxedo Mask). In the beginning Tuxedo Kamen often only lent supportive words to the senshi but he eventually takes a more active role in their battles. When Mamoru learns of his true identity, he also learns that his life has been alot more involed with the Sailor soldiers. In his past life,during the Silver Millenium, Mamoru was known as Prince Endymion(Prince Darien). This was the man from Earth that Princess Serenity(a.k.a.Usagi) had fallen in love with and the feeling was mutual. Prince Endymion died while protecting his love during the attack on the Moon Kingdom (go here for more details). After these facts are recalled, Mamoru and Usagi have a relationship that is, if nothing else, exciting. Even after deaths, rebirths, second deaths, bratty children from the future, strict fathers, would-be world conquerers, separation and the like, Usagi and Mamoru's love for each other still shines through(*sigh* romantic, no?^_^). **Usagi has her own special nickname for Mamoru:Mamo-chan. In english, it's equivelent is 'Muffin'.

Prince Endymion(Prince Darien)
This was Mamoru's identity and Princess Serenity's love during the Silver Millenium 1,000 years ago.
Tsukikage No Knight(Moonlight Knight)
Okay, this one's little more confusing. You see, after Princess Serenity defeated Queen Beryl for good, she and the rest of the Sailor senshi-along with Prince Endymion, were reincarnated (seeing as how they all died in battle). When they began their 'new' lives, not one of them had a single memory of what had happened or of their past lives. Eventually, though, the senshi regained their senses, but poor Mamoru was left clueless-resulting in no more Tuxedo Kamen. Since the girls could still use the extra help, Mamoru unconsciously created a being to aid them out of his love for Sailor Moon(a.k.a. Usagi). When Mamo-chan regained his memories, the Moonlight Knight, having served his purpose, vanished.
King Endymion
Oh boy, an easy one!! Okay, King Endymion is Mamoru's future self. He is joint ruler of the future kingdom of Crystal Tokyo with his wife Neo-Queen Serenity. Also, he is the father of ChibiUsa.
Powers/Transformations
Tansformation
Mamoru doesn't really say anything to turn himself into Tuxedo Kamen, nor does he do anything--he just transforms. How cool is that? Almost as cool as actually being able to witness the oh-so-rare Tuxedo Kamen Transformation sequence(click here to view a clip).
Misc. Abilities
As Tuxedo Kamen or Prince Endymion, Mamoru can do some pretty neat things...He can jump really high, fly, turn seemingly harmless objects into deadly weapons and is pretty handy with a sword.
Items
Roses
Roses (yes, roses) are Tuxedo Kamen's main weapon against evil forces. Somehow he throws these apparently titanimum tipped flowers at enemies or possibly dangerous objects. I say 'apparently titanium tipped' because I've seen these roses go into cement. Of course, for different identities, there are different colored roses....
Regular Tuxedo Kamen throws red roses...
Evil Tuxedo Kamen throws black roses...
And the Moonlight Knight throws white roses.
Cane
Tuxedo Kamen uses an extendable cane to strike enemies, deflect attacks and other uses I probably won't think of.
