Biography
Almost 1,000 years ago, Darien was born a prince on the planet Earth. An ally of the Moon Kingdom, Prince Darien was a member of Queen Serenity's court and a warrior against the forces of evil.

At some point during the Silver Millennium, Darien fell in love with Queen Serenity's daughter, Serena. In show of her affections, Serena gave Darien her Star Locket. The two were to be married when Queen Beryl and the Negaverse attacked the Moon Kingdom.

Darien fought alongside the other members of Serenity's court, but was unable defeat Beryl's forces. During the fight, Serena attempted to save Darien from Queen Beryl. The moment she reached him, Beryl killed them before Queen Serenity could save them.

Their deaths spurred Queen Serenity to seal away the remaining forces of Beryl's army and the Queen herself. With what remained of her strength she used the Imperium Silver Crystal to send Darien and the other members of the Moon Kingdom to Earth where they would be reborn.
