aknadin


Aknadin, known as Akhenaden in the manga and Japanese version, is the father of High Priest Seto and brother to the former Pharaoh Aknamkanon.

isis


Isis 「アイシス, Aishisu」 is a priestess that serves Pharaoh Atem in Ancient Egypt and wields the Millennium Necklace. Ishizu Ishtar is the reincarnation of Isis. She is named after the Egyptian god Isis. A wise, kind and intelligent woman, she seems to share a close friendship with Mahado in the anime, as she converses with him before he goes off to fight Bakura for the Pharaoh's sake. She is able to sense his plight during the duel with Bakura, and utters his name with tears flowing down her cheeks. Aishisu alone senses Mahado's demise, and cries out his name tearfully. It can be speculated she withheld deep feelings for him. Even three thousand years on, in the final duel with Atem and Yugi, when the Dark Magician makes his appearance, Isis notices "a deep pain in her heart." She ultimately dies while facing Zorc in an attempt to buy Mana enough time to give Atem his Millennium Puzzle.

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.

shada


hada 「シャダ, Shada」 is one of the six priests that guarded Pharaoh Atem 3,000 years ago. He wields the Millennium Key. He has the same eyes of his reincarnation: Shadi, and both names are very similar. He dies after pushing Atem out of the way of a lightning bolt likely caused by the presence of Zorc Necrophades.

He is voiced by Michael Alston Baley in the english dub.

mahad


Mahad, known as Mahado (マハード, Mahādo) in the manga and Japanese anime, is one of the priests who serves Pharaoh Atem. He wields the Millennium Ring. In order to defeat Thief King Bakura, he sacrificed his life and fused his Ba and his Ka together to create the "Dark Magician". He also was the best friend of the Pharaoh Atem since they were children. Before and after his death, Mahado always kept loyalty to his king. Mahado is the first among the six to die. Although his death was honorable, Priest Seto still thinks that Mahado is weak and his death does not change anything.

priest seto


Seto is a priest who is a cousin of Pharaoh Atem. Seto Kaiba is the reincarnation of Priest Seto. Seto is named after the Egyptian God Set.

ishizu ishtar


Ishizu Ishtar is a main character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! (Original manga) and the second series Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. Her name is sometimes rendered by fans as Isis Ishtar (as "Ishizu" is a possible pronunciation of the word "Isis" in Japanese). Her name supposedly derives from the Egyptian deity Isis and the Mesopotamian deity Ishtar.
