Indeed, it is not even known what he is - provided Pharaoh 90 is actually male in nature - only that he is a sentient destructive force dedicated to causing complete and utter devastation on a planetary scale, reducing whatever unfortunate world he should happen to appear on to a barren wasteland completely devoid of all life. Seeking to invoke just such an apocalyptic cataclysm - one chillingly known simply as the Silence - on Earth for reasons that have never been fully revealed, he first had need of a competant minion in order to assemble the materials required for and manipulate conditions so that they would be ideal to his summoning, one he eventually found in the form of the first known Daimon Germatoid. Whether or not the latter was the creation of a genetic engineering experiment of Professor Souichi Tomoe's gone horribly wrong or perhaps an inhabitant of Master Pharaoh 90's own homeworld intentionally sent by him to Earth through a breach in the fabric of the space-time continuum inadvertantly created as a result of the techniques Professor Tomoe used to manipulate the delicate DNA in his laboratory may never be known, though what little has been revealed about this sequence of events and the individuals involved in it would seem to suggest that it is extremely unlikely that random chance and mere coincidence could account for them, strongly suggesting that Pharaoh 90 may well have initiated them himself, knowing full well what the outcome would be. Over the next few years, Master Pharaoh 90 patiently waited as the Daimon Germatoid - in possession of the body of Professor Souichi Tomoe - founded the Infinity Academy and the Death Busters, recruited both Kaolinite and the Witches 5 to his cause, and created an army of Daimons in order the pave the way for his arrival. Key to their success was the professor's own daughter Hotaru Tomoe - her lifeless body serving as the vessel for Mistress 9, a single-celled alien lifeform from the Tau Ceti Star System completely loyal to Master Pharaoh 90 - whose ability to use the power of the Holy Grail as the Messiah of Silence, Sailor Saturn, was to be exploited for the Death Busters' own gain. However, during the final stages of their sinister plan in which they began extracting Heart Crystals from human beings while searching for the three Talismans required in order to summon the Holy Grail, the Death Busters managed to attract the attention of the Sailor Soldiers, who attempted to thwart their efforts to retrieve the sacred cup and their subsequent attempts to harness the energy of pure hearts needed in order to awaken Mistress 9 as the Messiah of Silence. During the penultimate chapter of the battle between the Sailor Soldiers and the forces of the Death Busters, Mistress 9 succeeded in tricking Sailor Moon into surrendering the Holy Grail to her, whereupon she placed it within a large-scale version of the miniature universe model of the Tau Star System designed by Viluy of the Witches 5 and the Infinity Academy Science Club, thereby releasing a tremendous burst of energy designed to act like a giant homing beacon and guide Master Pharaoh 90 towards Earth like a moth to a flame. Responding to Sailor Moon's pitiful attempt to stop his progress using her "Moon Spiral Heart Attack" with a particularily brutal counterattack of his own, Pharaoh 90 utterly decimated what little remained of the Infinity Academy upon his arrival, absorbed the massive mystical energies of the Holy Grail freed upon its destruction during the summoning process, and swept up the living wall of Daimons which comprised the Omega Zone barrier as well as the bodies of the Inner Soldiers - who had combined their powers in a desperate attempt to stop the monsters from expanding into the surrounding neighborhood - like straws in a hurricane as he prepared to embark on his path of destruction through the city of Tokyo, Japan. With the coming of the Silence now virtually imminent, Hotaru Tomoe - having regained control over her own body and transformed into Sailor Saturn by reasserting her own personality over that of Mistress 9 - plunged herself into the fiery energy core that comprised Master Pharaoh 90's "heart" in a last ditch attempt to stop him by battling him from within. She was soon joined by a determined Sailor Moon, who, by fusing her own Heart Crystal with the Illusion Silver Crystal in her Cosmic Heart Compact and absorbing the energies of all the Inner Soldiers, as well as those of the Outer Soldiers Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune, had managed to invoke her transformation into Super Sailor Moon. In the end, the combined power of Sailor Saturn and Super Sailor Moon proved to be great enough to destroy Master Pharaoh 90, seemingly forever. Diameter: Unknown Japanese Voice Actor:
