His natural complexion is flesh-tone; however, with his evil personality in dominance, his skin takes on a more pallid quality. Furthermore, his eyes are more sinister and glazed over by light. When completely corrupted by the [[The Light of Destruction]], his hair becomes wild, his face inhumanely twisted, and his teeth elongated.

==Character biography=Voice and mannerisms=== In the dub, Sartorius's voice is reminiscent of a young [[wikipedia:Hannibal Lecter|Hannibal Lecter]]. Because of his ability to see the future through his tarot cards, his attitude is calm as everything around is predicted from him. He is also very persuasive, able to find each person's character weak spots in order to do his bidding. His original series counterpart occasionally replaces certain Japanese words with anglicisms, the most common being his substitution of the words "shōkan" 「召喚」 and "hatsudō" 「発動」 with "play," an English equivalent to both "summon" and "activate," respectively.

Sartorius is a mysterious figure introduced in the second year who is [[Aster Phoenix]]'s (Ed Phoenix) manager, and the leader of the [[Society of Light]]. On the surface, the aim of Sartorius and his organization appears to be world domination starting with Duel Academy (Duel Academia) via expansion of their syndicate, but the man's gravest concerns lie in putting his stalled Wheel of Fate (a metaphor for his fate) back ===Abilities===His primary power was seeing into motion through the powers of [[Jaden Yuki]] (Judai Yuki) and his childhood friend, Aster, as means of escaping the destructive future that destiny had set for him. Although this goal was always on his mind, he was pushed towards an ultimate motive of eradicating with the "age aid of darkness" that had befallen the planet. It was his task to blanket the globe in light, destroy ittarot Deck, and kill all its inhabitants to restore balance to its imperfect state and create the world (or on a greater scale, the universe) anew. As children, Sartorius and divination technique he shares with his sister '', [[Society of Light#Sarina|Sarina]]'' (Mizuchi Saiou) were shunned and humiliated by others out of fear of their abilities to tell the future, and driven to run away from home. The siblings shared He is also a close relationship which extended into adolescence, and Sartorius searched for hope of escaping his ruinous destiny in a young Aster. Fearing the corrupt "Ultimate Destiny Card," the master manipulator who is able to say exactly what is needed to-be-Pro League king [[The D]] (DD) sought the kind and caring Sartorius for guidance, but accidentally imbued him with the will of a dangerous alien energy known as the '''Dark Light''' / '''Light of Destruction''' (光の波動 / 破滅の光 ''Hikari no Hadō / Hametsu no Hikari'') known by the latter name '''Surge of Light''' said to get anyone he or '''Light of Ruin''' (破滅の光 ''Hametsu no Hikari'') his associates in the Japanese version, which had taken up residence in the card. Like it had in The D, it provoked an onset of dissociative identity disorder, forcing Sartorius Society comes into contact with to contend with a dominant evil persona. The card would disappear from do his possession shortly thereafterbidding.

Sartorius wields dark, supernatural powersgiven to him by the Light of Destruction, including the ability to insinuate materialize Duel Monster effects, embed his spiritual energy power into inanimate objects (as he did with Aster's deck)Duel Monster cards, as well as other people, putting them under his control. He can also ward off weak spirits, cast illusions, and temporarily render others motionless either from a distance or with a single touch. His primary power, however, is seeing into the future with the aid of his tarot deck, a divination technique he shares with his sister, Sarina, though she instead uses mirrors to channel her powers. He is also a master manipulator, able to say exactly what is needed to be said to get anyone he or his associates in the Society comes into contact with to do his biddingimmobile. In addition to these skills, Sartorius' s "other self" displays a form of can use light-based to blast objects and perform telekinesison them.

In He loses all these abilities after the English version, Sartorius' voice is reminiscent of a young Hannibal Lecter, while his original series counterpart occasionally replaces certain Japanese words with anglicisms, the most common being his substitution of the words "shōkan" (召喚) and "hatsudō" (発動) with "play," an English equivalent to both "summon" and "activate," respectively. In his debut duel, Sartorius set his sights on [[Chazz Princeton]] (Jun Manjoume), frightening his opponent by displaying his ability to see straight through his own cards, and claiming that he already knew the outcome of their battle from the start. Chazz did not falter, gaining the advantage with his Armed Dragon monsters and delivering a fatal blow to Sartorius. With a startling move, however, Sartorius summoned [[Arcana Force XII - The Hangman]], a card most dreaded by Chazz for it represented himself, without so much as a flick of his wrist. Chazz's stagnant fate was brought to a close when he concluded that he still wanted to defeat Jaden, thereby admitting him to the Society of Lightsecond season.

Subsequently, ==Biography=====History===Sartorius learned that is a mysterious figure introduced in the second year as [[Tyranno HassleberryAster Phoenix]] (Tyranno Kenzan) shared a connection with Jaden 's manager and Aster in terms the leader of the [[Society of Light]]. On the surface, the aim of their power to influence Sartorius and his fate. He challenged Tyranno organization appears to a duel that he assured would not force him to become one be world domination starting with [[Duel Academy]] via expansion of his Societytheir syndicate but the man's members.

At [[File:LightofRuin!Saiou.jpg|thumb|left|Sartorius being infected by the end Light of episode 73Destruction]]As children, it was announced that Sartorius would be placed in and his sister [[Obelisk BlueSarina]] as a first-year (third-year in the Japanese version) transfer student, making him one step closer to taking over Duel Academy. By episode 79, Sarina reveals the troubled past that she and her brother share. When the two were younger, they were shunned and humiliated by others (even driven to run away from home) out of fear of their abilities to tell the future, but this fact only strengthened their bond. Sarina emphasized that her brother had once been a kind and caring person, and that it was because of a Hero card shown to him by a guest duelist that he began acting with evil intentionsran away from home. Aster believes that it was most likely the Destiny Hero stolen at the time of his father's kidnapping (murder in the Japanese version), and his suspicions are later confirmed, as the "Ultimate D-Card" surfaces as The siblings shared a carrier of the energy that infected both Sartorius and Pro League king, The D. Sarina continues, stating that the card is no longer in her brother's possession, as it disappeared shortly thereafter. Upon hearing of his sister's failure to deal with Jaden close relationship which extended into adolescence and Aster, Sartorius displays the first signs of dissociative identity disorder; within him, the true Sartorius contends with the dominant evil personal brought on by the will of the Light of Destruction. Sartorius selects [[Prince Ojin]] as his first opponent in the Genex tournament, wishing to obtain the destructive satellite technology searched for hope of the prince's country. He predicted that the duel would end before his first turn came, while his opponent believed that he would be the one to claim victory in one turn. Playing only three cards during escaping his opponent's first turn, Sartorius zeroed Ojin's Life Points. He thus earned the title of the first duelist ruinous destiny in the history of the anime to have ever performed, as Bastion (Daichi Misawa) calls it, a "Zero Turn Kill." With Ojin's defeat, the wealthy duelist obediently relinquishes the briefcase containing the control switch for his laser satellite, Sora, and the two keys for its activation. In the English version, he planned to control the minds of the Earth's inhabitants, making them forget about things like corruption, greed and violence, while in the Japanese version he planned to destroy the Earth instead, killing all its inhabitants to restore balance to its imperfect stateyoung Aster.

In order to prevent his evil side from instigating world destructionFearing the corrupt "Ultimate Destiny Card", Sartorius approaches Jaden and Aster, giving them the keys. He uses his Pro League champion ([[Mind Controlling]] powers on Jaden to make sure that he never returns the key. Shortly after this the evil Sartorious uses his mind control abilities on [[Alexis RhodesThe D]] (Asuka Tenjouin) and brainwashes her turning her cold and heartless. Sartorious orders her to duel Jaden and defeat him afterwards she is to return sought the key to Sartorious. She is defeated an episode later kind and saved from [[eternal mind control]]. Furious over the fact that his plans have been delayed, his evil personality sends duelist after duelist to contend with Jaden, caring Sartorius for guidance but is unable to recover his key. He is eventually sought by Aster in episode 100, who breaks into Obelisk Blue to find unintentionally imbued him in with the Society will of a dangerous alien energy known as the '''Dark Light's private duel field. It is revealed that Aster made a promise to his friend when they were young to save him from his destiny '' / '''Light of becoming a destroyer, and that The D was indeed the visitor that imbued him with Destruction''' 「光の波動 / 破滅の光 ''Hikari no Hadō / Hametsu no Hikari''」 known by the latter name '''Surge of Light''' or '''Light of DestructionRuin''' 「破滅の光, but merely by accident''Hametsu no Hikari''」 in the Japanese version, as he came before which had taken up residence in the fortune teller due to his fear of the corrupt Ultimate D-Cardcard. As Aster is about to give Sartorius his key to the satellite (known Like it had in Japan as S.O.R.A.)The D, Jaden intervenes and tells him its true purposeit provoked an onset of dissociative identity disorder, prompting the boy forcing Sartorius to wager it in contend with a duel insteaddominant evil persona.

Although Jaden wins the Duel mostly because Sartorius told Aster makes a comeback with timely help from Sartorius' good-hearted alter ego, the Light of Destruction unleashes [[Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler]] to end lose the duelDuel on purpose.

Beginning Later after Aster defeated [[Zane Truesdale]] in episode 102a Pro League match, Sartorius tells Aster that he must Duel Jaden again and Aster agrees mostly because he believes that his [[HERO|Hero]] Deck was better than Jaden face one another to determine the fate of the world.

==Deck==Sartorius uses an '''"[[Arcana Force]]" Deck''', based off the Major Arcana, with [[Spell Card|Spells]] and [[Trap Card|Traps]] based on the Minor Arcana to complement his monsters. His cards have the unique ability to appear in either upright (normal) or reversed (upside-down) positions, which dictates their [[effect]]s. When [[activate]]d, Sartorius's cards rotate and it is up to the opponent to decide when to end the rotation, in turn deciding his/her own fate. (In the ''TCG''/''OCG'', this "position" is represented by a coin toss.) The card number starts from 0 design of cards in the "Arcana Force" series has links to 22the Cthulhu Mythos. Thus, there In the Japanese version the names of the "Arcana Force" monsters are only number 0-21 but 22 cardsseparated by underscores instead of hyphens.

==Sartorius later utilizes a new [[Lockdown]]/[[Mill]] strategy which reflects his changed philosophy on destiny revolving around the combination of "[[Arcana Force 0 - The Fool (anime)|Arcana Force 0 - The Fool]]", "[[Tour of Doom (anime)|Tour of Doom]]", and "[[Sowing of the Fool]]". By slipping "The Fool" into [[Jaden Yuki|Jaden]]'s Deck, it enables Sartorius to choose which effects of any other "[[Arcana Force]]" monsters activate without relying on chance. Through this he can safely use the effect of "Tour of Doom", which has an equal chance of preventing either player from Summoning a monster during their [[turn]], to shut out his opponent's ability to Summon monsters entirely. In addition, "Sowing of the Fool" gives Sartorius the ability to discard cards from his opponent's Deck. The use of "The Fool" in his rematch with Jaden is significant because during the ''Society of Light'' arc, Jaden's actions in Sartorius's predictions are determined by the Major Arcana card called "[[wikipedia:The Fool (Tarot Readings== Card)|The Fool]]".
