Karim


Karim, known as Kalim (カリム, Karimu) 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 the "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. Kalim, unlike most of the Ancient Egyptian cast, does not have an evident modern form; his Scales are held by Shadi throughout the series. He was killed by Thief Bakura in one of the duels in Bakura's village. 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 pratice duel, as seen in the manga.



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.
