Biography
At sometime in life, Mrs. Ishtar married into the Ishtar family and became a grave keeper of the Tomb of the Nameless Pharaoh. One night, she found a nameless infant boy, who was abandoned by his biological parents. Mrs. Ishtar adopted him and named him Rishid (Odion in the English anime), and treated him as a real son. Her husband, however, refused to accept the boy as anything more than a servant.

As Rishid grew, the couple became increasingly desperate in having a male child as the heir to the tomb-keeper clan. Mrs. Ishtar proposed that they should have Rishid initiated if they do not have a boy by his tenth birthday (twelfth in the English anime), to which her husband reluctantly agreed. When Rishid became six, Ishizu was born, to Mr. Ishtar's displeasure as they bore a daughter. Four years after that, the Ishtar finally have a boy, Marik, to which Mrs. Ishtar died during childbirth. Her last words to Rishid and Ishizu was for them to take care of each other.
