Rishid "Odion" Ishtar

Details Clubs Pictures Top > Characters > Rishid Ishtar Rishid Ishtar (リシド・イシュタール)Age: 25 Marik's adoptive brother and the second-in-command of the Ghouls. Abandoned as a child, Rishid was taken in by Marik's mother prior to his birth. However, his father never accepted him as a suitable heir and treated him as a servant rather than a son. When Marik was born, his mother told him to take care of his younger brother and Rishid stood by Marik's side, even when he turned to a life of evil. Marik and Rishid were close siblings, but Rishid always harbored a resentment for him as the true heir to the tombkeeper's clan and legitimate son of his parents. When Marik was bitten by a cobra and became ill, their father beat Rishid, furious he allowed Marik to be harmed, and ordered that he not leave Marik's bedside until he recovered. Rishid takes a dagger to Marik's room with the intent to kill him in his sleep (this is edited out in the dub, along with Rishid's resentment for Marik). Marik awakens and murmurs "brother", causing Rishid to drop the weapon in shock: Marik sees Rishid as his brother, despite the fact they are not blood related. When Marik admitted that he was terrified of being forced to take the initiation ritual, he tried unsuccessfully to stop their father from forcing it on him. When that failed, he scarred his own face with a dagger in order to share the pain and prove his loyalty to their family. When Marik unknowingly developed his dark split personality, Rishid was the only one who could restrain Dark Marik and protected Marik from ever knowing about the existence of his dark side and the crimes it had committed. Once, after he helped Marik and Ishizu sneak outside, his father attempted to kill him for betraying them. When Marik returned and witnessed this, his anger allowed Dark Marik to take over and murder his father (or send him to the Shadow Realm, in the English anime) but Rishid was still alive and was able to calm Marik down and make his dark side disappear again, lying to him that Shadi (who appeared afterwards) had killed him under orders from the Pharaoh to protect him from the truth. Marik had Rishid pose as him during Battle City, but he fell unconscious after playing a copy of The Winged Dragon of Ra in his duel against Jonouchi. He later awakened during the final battle between Dark Marik and Yugi, and helped Marik overcome his dark alter-ego and take back control of his body.
