Shadi



Shadi is the guardian of the Millennium items. His first appearance was when he went into Yugi's mind and discovered that it had two chambers instead of the usual one. He found Yami Yugi and eventually challenged him to dangerous games involving his friends. After being defeated, he learned that the true power of the Millennium Puzzle was unity.

In the animé, his first appearance occured when he sensed that Pegasus' Millennium Eye had been stolen. Thinking that Yugi did it (because owners of one item often seek others), he went into his mind.

Shadi's role in the series is ambiguous. Putting Yugi through dangerous games, misleading Marik to believe that the death of his father was the will of the pharaoh, and bestowing the "sorrowful Millennium Eye" upon Pegasus all seem like deeds of malice. However, it can be argued that he is just prodding destiny along, since the results of these actions had to have occured.
