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.

-=== Childhood ===
+* [[Shadow Ghoul]]
-As a child, during the time when [[Aknamkanon]] was Pharaoh, he, [[Atem]], and [[Mana]] were good friends. He had to guard and protect the prince. At one point, he got bitten by a snake, and Atem saved him by sucking the venom out.

-=== As a Priest ===
-He later became a [[High Priests|High Priest]] serving [[Pharaoh Aknamkanon]]. Mana became his apprentice. Also, he acquired the [[Millennium Ring]] and told the Pharaoh of the [[Kul Elna massacre]]. During an unspecified point of time, he had sealed his great power in a tomb. After Aknamkanon died, Atem became Pharaoh.
-=== Millennium World ===
-Mahad fought [[Thief King Bakura]] when he raided the palace alongside [[Atem]] and the other priests. Bakura later fled when Atem summoned "[[Obelisk the Tormentor]]". He later led Bakura to the [[Valley of the Kings]]. He and Bakura entered a tomb, where he had sealed his power, and his men blocked off the entrance so that Bakura can't flee. However, during the fight, despite obtaining the great power, he sacrificed himself to fuse his ''ka'' and ''ba'' together to form "[[Dark Magician (character)|Dark Magician]]" after he was severely weakened. He then made a blast so powerful that Bakura was believed to have died. He continued to serve Atem as the Dark Magician, and even destroyed Bakura's [[Diabound]] during their fight at [[Kul Elna]]. He participated in the final battle aganist [[Zorc Necrophades]], when the latter began his assault on the palace. He and the [[Dark Magician Girl (character)|Dark Magician Girl]], Mana's ''ka'', attempted to destroy Zorc with a combined attack but Zorc was unaffected and easily wiped them out. Mahad's soul was among others waiting for Atem in the afterlife.
