Trueman, at one point, stated that he has no real name, but he chose the name "Trueman" because he claims he always speaks the truth (He does tend to use deceit and dishonesty many times in non-verbal ways, however, using illusion to prey on victims.).

To defeat Axel Brodie, Trueman copied the Deck and appearance of Brodie's [[Mr. Brodie|father]] and preys on Brodie's negative emotions relating to an incident that nearly killed both of his parents.

After defeating [[Taigo Sorano]], Trueman begins to imitate both Sorano's Deck and appearance, enabling him to blend in with the other students of Duel Academy before finding his next victim.

He later assumes his true form once more and defeats [[Chazz Princeton]] and [[Alexis Rhodes]].

====Archetype====

[[Trueman]] plays a variety of Decks as he has the ability to manifest himself out of piles of random cards. To maintain consistency, he frequently runs "[[Dark Archetype]]" as a frontrunner– this can be considered his one consistently used card. In addition, he can copy the Decks of Duelists he defeats, and as such also uses a broad spectrum of constructed Decks.

Trueman plays an '''Archetype Deck''', based around using the [[card effect|effect]] of "[[Dark Archetype]]" to Summon a variety of powerful [[Monster Card|monsters]]. Because he can manifest himself through any bunch of cards, for the most part, his Deck varies. As part of his darkness theme, most of his key monsters are of the [[DARK]] [[Attribute]]. Trueman's Deck also evolves each time he loses a Duel, as he has an improved Deck in the next Duel. He has displayed the ability to copy any Duelist's appearance and Deck, as long as the memory of the Deck exists. After his third loss to Jaden, he defeats [[Taigo Sorano]] and uses both [[#Horus|his Deck]] and appearance to blend in with the rest of Duel Academy. He uses Sorano's Deck to defeat much of the student body, including [[Syrus Truesdale]] and [[Tyranno Hassleberry]]. With most of the students pulled into the [[World of Darkness]], he reverts to his own Deck and defeats the remainder of the students, including [[Chazz Princeton]] and [[Alexis Rhodes]]. This leaves only [[Jaden Yuki]] and [[Jesse Anderson]] unaffected. Although he also copied both Axel's and Jaden's Deck, as taking their appearance, he didn't use them since Jaden succeeded to escape from him.

Biography

Trueman lineart

Linework

Trueman initially appears to dispose of Honest, a Duel Spirit who disguised himself as a long-missing Obelisk Blue student, Yusuke Fujiwara, only to be stopped by Jaden Yuki. Recognizing Jaden as a threat, Trueman attempts to destroy Jaden, only to be thwarted every time and retreats, promising to return. Trueman proves a difficult opponent for Jaden each time they Duel. In the first Duel Jaden won fairly easily but came very close to losing the second. Before their third rematch multiple Trueman(s) appear and they assimilate together to dispatch Jaden, considering him as a threat to their agenda. Jaden nearly loses this one, but manages to win using the card "Honest".

DonotletTruemannearyourchildren

Trueman pulls Tsutomu into the World of Darkness.

He later revives his machination and initiates a vicious assault on Duel Academy and Domino City, absorbing people into the World of Darkness by materializing through the cards of Duelists who have felt negative emotions and assuming their form, but not before eliminating the original. Additionally, when he does this, everyone who knew the person forgets they ever existed. Among the victims were Daigo Sorano, Axel Brodie, Sartorius, Sarina, Tyranno Hassleberry, and almost the entire population of Domino City and the students of Duel Academy. Names from a list of his victims, including many characters from the first series anime and manga, all disappear from the list leaving only Seto Kaiba's name behind.

To defeat Axel Brodie, Trueman copied the Deck and appearance of Brodie's father and exploits Brodie's negative emotions relating to an incident that nearly killed both of his parents. Many copies of Brodie later attempt to stop Jaden Yuki's escape from Domino City, but Jaden escapes them. However, many copies of Jaden then try to stop Jaden, but he is rescued by Sartorius.

After defeating Daigo Sorano, Trueman begins to imitate both Sorano's Deck and appearance, enabling him to blend in with the other students of Duel Academy before finding his next victim, growing stronger with every Duel. Each individual Trueman clone was capable of doing this, and so each of them would seek out students to defeat, among them being Tyranno Hassleberry and Syrus Truesdale. He later assumes his true form once more and defeats Chazz Princeton and Alexis Rhodes.

The Trueman clones observed the Duel between Yusuke Fujiwara and Atticus Rhodes as well as the Duel between Yusuke, Jaden, and Jesse Anderson. During Jaden's Duel with Yusuke Fujiwara, all the Trueman clones are destroyed by "Rainbow Neos" when it attacks and destroys "Clear Vicious Knight" and the portion of Nightshroud that was possessing Yusuke.

Abilities

Trueman demonstrates numerous abilities during the season, the most notable being able to manifest from cards tainted with darkness, as he mentions he's a being of pure emotion. He can transform into different people and replicate their Decks. When he Duels against a particular person, he can manipulate the memories of his opponents in an attempt to psychologically weaken them.

He has also shown the ability to teleport, create duplicates of himself, manipulate objects, and hypnotize people.

Deck

Trueman plays a variety of Decks as he has the ability to manifest himself out of piles of random cards. To maintain consistency, he frequently runs "Dark Archetype" as a frontrunner– this can be considered his one consistently used card. In addition, he can copy the Decks of Duelists he defeats, and as such also uses a broad spectrum of constructed Decks.

In his duels against Jaden, he plays in a similar manner to Yami Bakura: Summoning weaker monsters at the beginning in order to bait the opponent and then suprise him.

Trueman uses Decks focusing on DARK monsters in Tag Force 3.
