History
 | This summary is currently incomplete. |
Ancient Egypt
The Millennium Items were created using shadow alchemy and a sacrifice of human lives in the Kul Elna massacre, in order to protect the Egypt from foreign invaders. Akhenaden was the first owner of the Millennium Eye.[1]
Akhenaden acquired all the Millennium Items and placed them in the tablet, as part of a dark pact to gain power. He became the High Priest of Shadows and waged war with Atem.[2]
Pegasus and Bandit Keith's Duel
Maximillion J. Pegasus faced Bandit Keith in a televised game of Duel Monsters in the New York Duel Stadium and used the opportunity to humiliate Keith. He used the Millennium Eye to read Keith's mind and wrote down some instructions. He handed the instructions to a beginner, Tom, and got him to finish the Duel in his place, defeating Keith.[3]
Seto Kaiba witnessed Pegasus' mind-reading abilities and incorporated elements that could potentially combat it into the development of his Duel Disk technology. Players were required to stand at least five meters apart, which he hoped would put them out of range of the Mind Scan[4] and Solid Vision projections of cards in players' hand obscured the view of their face and body.[5]
Duelist Kingdom
Maximillion J. Pegasus played a Shadow Game, where he used a videotape to face Dark Yugi in a game of Duel Monsters through the television. Using the Millennium Eye's Mind Scan power, he read Dark Yugi's mind throughout the Duel. When he won, he used the Eye to inflict the "SOUL TV" Penalty Game, trapping the soul of Sugoroku Mutou in the videotape.[6]
During the first night of the Duelist Kingdom tournament, Ryo Bakura discovered that the Millennium Ring was pointing in the direction of Pegasus Castle and suspected it was pointing towards the Millennium Eye.[7] The next day, Bakura made use of this information when he and his friends were lost underground, as they were able to use the Ring to know which direction they were traveling.[8]
Pegasus' prisoner, Mokuba Kaiba made an escape attempt, so Pegasus used the "Mind Card" ability of the Millennium Eye to seal Mokuba's soul in the card, "Soul Prison". This left Mokuba with just enough volition to obey Pegasus' orders.[9]
Seto Kaiba faced Pegasus in a Duel and insisted on using the Duel Disks he had developed to combat the Millennium Eye's Mind Scan. However Pegasus thought it foolish to fight on his enemy's terms, so would only accept if Mokuba's soulless body acted as his body, holding his Duel Disk. Kaiba refused to do that and they Dueled without the Duel Disks.[9] This enabled Pegasus to use the Eye to read Kaiba's mind. [10] When he won, he used the Eye to administer the "Soul Card" Penalty Game on Kaiba, trapping his soul in another "Soul Prison".[11]
Pegasus had dinner served to tournament semifinalists, who were disturbed to discover he had placed replica Millennium Eyes in their soup. He then announced the Heart-Pounding Tournament Entrée Bingo Game and instructed them to crack open their replica Eyes to find a letter used to determine the matchups for the semifinals.[12]
During Dark Yugi and Mai Kujaku's semifinal, Pegasus used the Millennium Eye to read Dark Yugi's mind and confirmed Mai's suspicions that Dark Yugi was focused on Dueling Pegasus and not concentrating on the Duel at-hand.[13]
During Katsuya Jonouchi and Bandit Keith's semifinal, Pegasus wondered how Jonouchi was doing so well when his experience, strategy, and Deck strength were so far behind those of Keith. He opted to read both their minds with the Millennium Eye; seeing despair and revenge in Keith and hope and trust in Jonouchi.[14]
Keith confronted Pegasus with a knife after losing to Jonouchi. But Pegasus was aware Keith had cheated in the Duel, so he used the Millennium Eye to subject him to the "Hand and Gun" Penalty Game. This caused Keith to believe his hand transformed into a gun and he involuntarily played Russian roulette, killing himself.[15]
Rite of the Duel
Atem placed the Millennium Eye along with the other six Millennium Items into the Tablet of the Pharaoh's Memories in the Shrine of the Underworld. This caused him to split into a separate body from Yugi, so that the two may face each other for the Rite of the Duel.[16] By experiencing defeat, Atem was deemed ready to pass on. His passing through the door to the afterlife, caused the Tablet of the Pharaoh's Memories to break and fall into the depths of the earth, taking the Millennium Items with it.[17]
