• This was one of the three Legendary Dragons that protected Atlantis, and the Dominion of the Beasts. Yugi Muto and Yami Yugi was chosen to release Timaeus from his 10,000 year long slumber. It was the first of the dragons released. This card appeared in Yugi's deck when he was attacked by the Great Leviathan. Yugi then took this card out and summoned it to protect him from the Great Leviathan. Timaeus then defeated the Great Leviathan, but did not destroy it as it retreated away after Timaeus defeated it.

• The next day, after the gang listen to the news regarding the Great Leviathan attacking Domino City, Joey notes that this card was able to defeat the monster before it could do any actual harm, but only for now. Tristan then takes the card and notes he doesn't know how this card was able to do all that since it is just a card. Joey takes it back and states that's only if you give it a first impression. He notes any real Duelist would know this card is special so it has to be handled with care. Joey then hands the card back to Yugi and asks if that is right. Yugi agrees and states there is no telling what else this card can do. Yami Yugi agrees as this card contains the spirit of an ancient dragon so they should be careful. The gang then try to figure out what to do now about these mysteries, but Yami Yugi notes the secret should be in this card. Joey then takes the card to have a look at it. He notes if they can this monster to come out, then maybe he can tell some answers about the recent events that have occurred. Tristan then hits Joey and states he thought Joey said to handle it with care. Joey and Tristan then got into a fight until Yugi's grandfather interrupted with a package.

• In episode 148, this card appears in a flashback that Dartz has when he remembers Yami Yugi using this card to defeat the Great Leviathan's eye and temporarily leave it incapacitated.

• While the gang are heading for Industrial Illusions, Yugi makes note of the recent events that have happened to them and shows this card to his friends. He then states that this card is the only protection they have against the Great Leviathan, but even that doesn't seem like enough because the Leviathan is still out there somewhere.

• After Kaiba releases "Critias" from his icy imprisonment, Yugi, while holding this card, notices this card glowing which was a signal to Yugi that another Dragon has been released.

• During Joey's second Duel against Mai Valentine, Yami looks at this card and notes in his mind this card has the power of defeating the "Orichalcos", but he and Yugi are not sure how it will save Joey.

• When Joey ran out of options to survive his rematch with Mai, his Deck began to glow. Yami Yugi and Yugi then noticed their Deck glowing. They then take the glowing card out and see that it is this card, signifying that the third chosen Duelist has been chosen.

• After all three chosen Duelists (Yami Yugi, Kaiba, and Joey) came together in Industrial Illusions, they each showed their respective Legendary Dragons. All three cards then begin to glow since the chosen Duelists have now united. They then hold their respective cards up into the air. The glow soon disappears and the three Duelists then lower down their cards before Kaiba and Mokuba leave.

• Yami Yugi first actually played this card in his first duel with Rafael. He then merges this card with "Dark Magician Girl" to summon "Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight". Unfortunately when he is given "The Seal of Orichalcos" because of "Exchange", he becomes tempted to use it, but tries to use his willpower to prevent himself from playing it, knowing how evil the power of "The Seal" is. However the temptation of using "The Seal of Orichalcos" eventually becomes too much for Yami Yugi to delay as he continues to take damage while Rafael takes almost no damage. When he becomes close to losing he plays "The Seal of Orichalcos" against Yugi's better judgment. Doing this destroys "Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight" due to Timaeus leaving Yami Yugi for playing "The Seal of Orichalcos". Playing "The Seal of Orichalcos" also caused Yami to lose control of his rage, anger, and emotions, eventually leading him to being defeated. After the duel, Timaeus temporarily abandoned Yami Yugi, and refused to serve the Pharaoh until he could control his anger.

• This card was shown being played in Yami Yugi's duel with Weevil Underwood. Yami Yugi attempts to fuse this card with "Poison Butterfly", but Timaeus destroys himself due to him abandoning Yami Yugi for playing "The Seal of Orichalcos", causing the Fusion to not work. Yami Yugi was then forced to defeat Weevil without Timaeus' help.

• In episode 163, Ironheart picks this card up from the ground after Yami Yugi drops it while being flung from the train after dueling Weevil.

• After defeating Weevil Underwood and meeting Ironheart, Chris, and Sky, Yami Yugi felt that he was not worthy of Timaeus' power because of his selfish actions, so he gave Timaeus to Dartz's father Ironheart.

• After Yami Yugi was forced to challange Yugi in the Stone Wastelands and defeat him, he was able to conquer the darkness in his heart and regain Timaeus' trust. Later he was forced to take on one of Dartz's Orichalcos soldiers and almost lost before Dartz strikes them down. Ironheart, Sky, and Chris sacrifice themselves to give Timaeus back to the Pharaoh. Yami Yugi then fused this card with "Dark Magician Girl" to create "Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight" once more. He then equipped it with "Excalibur", doubling its ATK. "Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight" then destroys "Orichalcos Gigas", winning Yami Yugi the duel.

• After Kaiba defeated Alister, he tries to stop the plane from crashing, but it is no use. All three Legendary Dragons then came out of their owner's Decks as actual monsters. They then gathered around the plane and brought it down to the ground safely.

• In episode 168, this card appears in a flashback Dartz has when he remembers this card defeating the Great Leviathan's eye and scattering the shattered pieces of the Leviathan across the globe.

• After Yami Yugi and Kaiba confront Dartz at the KC USA building, they summon their respective Legendary Dragons against Dartz and the Great Leviathan. Dartz asks Timaeus how his eye is before Timaeus lets out a roar. Timaeus attacks Dartz and the Great Leviathan, but they escape. Shortly after, both Legendary Dragons were recalled back by their masters.

• When Yami Yugi and his friends get surrounded by Orichalcos Soldiers, Yami Yugi and Kaiba summon their Legendary Dragons and use them to defeat the many soldiers. Rebecca and Tea get attacked by some soldiers, but Yami Yugi orders Timaeus to destroy them. After the soldiers are cleared out, Yami Yugi and Kaiba recall back their Dragons.

• Even when the gang try to assure themselves that they will find Joey through his Duel Disk's location, Yami Yugi looks at this card as he is concerned about what will happen to Joey when he faces one of the three remaining people that are still helping Dartz.

• After Joey plays "The Claw of Hermos" in his Duel against Valon, this card is shown glowing signifying to Yami Yugi and his friends that Joey played his Dragon. After "Rocket Hermos Cannon" is destroyed, the glow around this card fades which makes Yami Yugi and his friends concerned over what happened to Joey.

• After Téa states to Tristan and Yami Yugi that Joey is nearby and that they should look down each street, Yami Yugi looks at this card, pondering over what happened earlier. Yami Yugi explains to Téa that he could sense the presence of Joey's Legendary Dragon earlier, but it's now gone and so he guesses that means Joey's Dragon was destroyed.

• In episode 172, this card appears in a flashback Yami Yugi when he explains to Tristan and Téa that he earlier sensed the presence of Joey's Dragon through his own, but it faded out soon after, heavily suggesting that Hermos was destroyed.

• After Yami Yugi and his friends see a vortex of light coming out from beyond some buildings, Yami Yugi notices that this card is glowing again, signifying Joey has played his Legendary Dragon again.

• While the gang are still looking around for Joey, Yami Yugi takes this card out and looks at it. He decides to use this card in order to lead himself, Tristan, and Téa to Joey. He then takes off on a path and requests his friends to follow him.

• After Joey loses to Mai, Yami Yugi stops for a brief moment and looks at this card. He then looks up and sees this card on top of a building, roaring in sorrow before dissolving away. This signifies that Timaeus has learned that Joey and Hermos have lost to the Orichalcos.

• Yami Yugi played this card in his rematch duel with Rafael. Yami Yugi then merged this card with "Dark Magician" to summon "Amulet Dragon". Later Yami brought this card back to his hand with "Altar of Restoration". He then merged this card with "Dark Magician Girl" to summon "Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight".

• Yami Yugi used this card in his duel against Dartz. After Kaiba was defeated, Yami nearly gave up until he drew Legend of Heart. Yami then used that card to banish this card, "The Fang of Critias" and "The Claw of Hermos" to summon Timaeus, Critias and Hermos in their true forms. He then used the three Legendary Knights to defeat Dartz.

• In episode 182, Yami Yugi uses this card in the battle with The Great Leviathan. After all three Chosen Duelists summoned their Legendary Dragons, Yami Yugi used "Legend of Heart" to transform the Dragons into the Legendary Knights.

• After Dartz and The Great Leviathan were defeated, Timaeus returned home with his friends. This card along with the other Legendary Dragon cards dissolve away when this happens as the Legendary Knights no longer need to assist the chosen Duelists or their comrades with the Orichalcos and the Great Leviathan defeated for good(This card was not shown dissolving away, but the fact that "The Claw of Hermos" and "The Fang of Critias" dissolved after the Legendary Knights left back into the Dominion of the Beasts proves that this card dissolved too).
