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 (Life Spirit) 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. In the anime, he continued to serve the Pharaoh in the form of the Dark Magician. He also appeared in The Ceremonial Battle summoned by Yami Yugi in his duel against Yugi Muto.
