karim

Karim 「カリム, Karimu, from Arabic كريم Kareem」 in the manga and Japanese anime, is one of the six priests that guarded Pharaoh Atem 3,000 years ago. He wields the Millennium Scale. His Ka is "Curse of Dragon", a monster which appears in Yugi's deck at several points in the series. It is a common theory that the first holder of the Millennium Scale was his father, as they look extremely similar. Karim's reincarnation is Odion (Rishido) the main servant of Marik Ishtar, whose name is an anagram of Karim. His Scales are held by Shadi throughout the series. In a weakened state, he sacrifices what's left of his lifeforce to Shada so he (Shada) can protect the Pharaoh. He was by far one of the most loyal and dedicated of the court. He was also not afraid to confront Seto about his abuse of his friend's monsters in the practice Duel, as seen in the manga.
