Ishtar Sr.
Ishtar Sr.
Marik and Ishizu's father and Odion's stepfather, the
elder Ishtar appears only in flashbacks on the pasts of
Marik, Ishizu, and Odion. Ishtar and his wife to Odion
in when the latter of the pair found Odion abandoned a a
baby outside the Pharaoh's tomb. Though they had no
children at the time, he was reluctant to give Odion the
tombkeeper's initiation. When Ishizu and then Marik were
born, he was freed from this doubt. Without his late
wife around to defend Odion, Ishtar verbally abused the
young man. He was especially angry when Odion told him
of Marik's wish to not be a tomb keeper and asked to be
initiated instead. The final straw was when Odion
allowed Ishizu and Marik to leave the tomb. Ishtar
attacked Odion with the Millennium Rod, and ordered him
to leave, thus bringing Marik's dark side alive. Ishtar
was punished for his overprotectiveness and became Yami
Marik's first victim.
After his demise, Odion and Marik left together while
Ishizu went off alone.
