Not to be confused with Isis Ishtar.
Isis is a priestess that serves Pharaoh Atem in Ancient Egypt and wields the Millennium Necklace. Ishizu Ishtar is the reincarnation of Isis. She is named after the Egyptian god Isis.
A wise, kind and intelligent woman, she seems to share a close friendship with Mahad in the anime, as she converses with him before he goes off to fight Bakura for the Pharaoh's sake. She is able to sense his plight during the duel with Bakura, and utters his name with tears flowing down her cheeks. Isis alone senses Mahad's demise, and cries out his name tearfully, showing she does care about him. Even three thousand years on, in the final duel with Atem and Yugi, when the Dark Magician makes his appearance, Ishizu notices "a deep pain in her heart". In the manga, she survives the final battle and remains a priestess under Pharaoh Seto, while in the anime she dies while facing Zorc in an attempt to buy Mana enough time to give Atem his Millennium Puzzle.
