Amnael

Amnael (アムナエル Amunaeru) - The seventh and final Shadow Rider, who challenges Jaden to a duel. "Amnael" is actually a pseudonym used by Lyman Banner (Daitokuji), who eventually reveals his body to be is a crumbling homunculus vessel. Banner overpowers his former pupil with his Alchemy deck, but Jaden manages to defeat him. After giving Jaden his Shadow Charm, the Emerald Tablet, Banner is reduced to dust, along with his original mummified body. His spirit, however, lives on in the body of his cat, Pharaoh. Amnael plays an Alchemy deck, which draws a relationship between the science and universe. His strategy relies on the removal of his own cards from the game, supported by the Special Summoning of Alchemy Beasts (Alchemic Beasts; 錬金獣 Renkinjū), based off common base metals and animals used in alchemy to transmute and refine gold, and the Alchemic Processes, based off four of the seven main stages in transmutation, falling under calcination, dissolution, separation, conjunction, fermentation, distillation, and coagulation. (Note: In the Japanese version, the positions of the two words making up each Alchemic Beast's name are inversed, as well as "the" being omitted entirely. Their names, as well as the names of the Alchemic Processes, are not hyphenated).
