BiographyEdit

Past LifeEdit

Two millenniums ago, Alexander was a king of Macedonia who conquered many parts of the world with his large and powerful army. Eventually, he conquered Egypt, became its pharaoh, and gained the Millennium Ring. When he used the ring, his soul split in two, in a good half and an evil one. The ring corrupted him, and he wanted even more power. He launched an invasion of India, but his soldiers began to abandon him. Alexander was confronted by Shadi, who questioned his use of the Millennium Ring. Shadi also told him of the ultimate power that could rule the world, and that was in a pyramid inside India's jungle. That power was locked away by Shadi, who feared that it would be used only by evil.

After passing a series of tests in a shadow game resembling the Capsule Monsters Game (with four of his vassals), he gained the key to unlock this power, but he couldn´t open the door that protected the power. In a moment of frenzy, he lost his vassals, and the key crumbled in his hands. At this moment, his dark half was split apart from his good half and was trapped within the Pyramid. Meanwhile, his good side was flung into the Capsule Monster world. As a consequence, his empire collapsed and his soldiers deserted.

Modern eraEdit

At the time of the reawakening of Yami Yugi, the Pharaoh without a name, Dr. Alexander Brisbane direct descendant of Alexander, and Solomon Mutou discovered India's pyramid and investigated it. Inside the pyramid, Dr. Brisbane was possessed by Yami Alexander, who then lured Yugi Muto and his friends to the Capsule Monster game, in a new attempt to win the ultimate power.

Yugi and his friends were helped in the tests for Alexander's good side, who revealed his past and his current predicament. When the game ended, Solomon and Alexander's good side tried to trick Alexander's evil side, to let the two parts merge. However, the evil side won the struggle and stole the key to the door to the ultimate power. He fights with Yugi's friends and all fall into a space dimension. Here they meet Shadi, who said that the winner of the battle of Yugi and Alexander would be the one who gained the ultimate power. Alexander summoned his four vassals and all of them used his capsule monsters against the gang. Yami Alexander used the power of his vassals indiscriminately, hurting them in the process. Finally, Yami Yugi defeated him using the power given to him by his friends. With his evil side gone, Alexander was able to happily pass on, along with his vassals.

Capsule MonstersEdit

Alexander the Great gathered only three monsters during his time in the Capsule World. However, they were three powerful monsters. The first was Seven-Armed Fiend, a strong monster that possessed a variety of dangerous abilities. It also had the power to summon several copies of Skull Knight 2.

Reshef the Dark Being was Alexander's most powerful capsule monster, and a symbol of his power. Reshef noticeably possessed a throne upon its head for Alexander to sit on during combat.

The good Alexander gave his third monster, Curse of Dragon, to Solomon Muto to replace his destroyed Summoned Skull.
