==Character biography==
Marik's family guarded the tomb of the pharaoh for generations and two of the [[Millennium Items]], the [[Millennium Rod|Rod]] and [[Millennium Necklace|Necklace]] were passed on to Marik and his sister [[Ishizu Ishtar]].
Marik was forbidden to leave the Pharoah's tomb due to his father's fear that the freedom and marvels of the outside world would further divert Marik's attention away from his heritage. Marik no longer wanted to become a Tombkeeper, so his adoptive brother [[Odion Ishtar|Odion]] asked if he could take Marik's place but was refused. When Marik was forced to take the initiation ritual to become a full Tombkeeper, Dark Marik was created. After the forbidden trip to surface, Marik's father, having found out, attempted to kill Odion. At this, Dark Marik emerged for the first time and claimed the [[Millennium Rod]] for himself.
In the manga Dark Marik specifically skinned his father with it and then threw his father's back onto Odion. In the Japanese anime he killed his father to stop him from killing Odion (in the English anime he sent his father to the [[Shadow Realm]]). Dark Marik was sealed away in Marik's body by Odion.
