==Design==
===Appearance===
Shadi is a tall and thin Egyptian man with blue eyes. His head is bald, apparently from an early age. He usually dresses in simple while and cream robes with a turban on his head and simple orange shoes. He wears the [[Millennium Key (manga)|Millennium Key]] around his neck on a string, and his ears are pierced with golden rings hanging from strings. He takes on this appearance in his youth and as a spirit.
As Hasan, Shadi is a tall and muscular man wearing a loincloth, a black cloak, and a golden Pharaoh's mask. He has images of the [[Millennium Items (manga)|Millennium Items]] traced on his body.
During the flashback events of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions]]'', Shadi dresses slightly more elaborately. His mantle is shorter and he has wrappings around his calves. His forehead is marked with three golden triangular symbols of the Plana.
===Etymology===
"Shadi" (شادي) is a name used in Arabic-speaking countries as well as in the Indian subcontinent. The name is traditionally given to Arab Christian and Muslim males. The word "Shadi" is of Arabic origin and has the archaic meaning of "singer" although that is no longer its use nowadays.
==Biography==
===Meeting Pegasus===
Shadi is a member of a faction of the [[Tomb Keeper|Tomb Keeper's]] clan who watched over the [[Millennium Items (manga)|Millennium Items]], the [[Millennium Eye(manga)|Eye]], [[Millennium Key(manga)|Key]], [[Millennium Ring(manga)|Ring]] and [[Millennium ScaleScales (manga)|Scales]] in [[Kul Elna]] in the [[Valley of the Kings]]. [[Millennium Ring thief|A thief]] once tried to steal the Millennium Ring, but Shadi's men managed to chase and capture him. [[Maximillion J. Pegasus (manga)|Maximillion J. Pegasus]] was in the area and saw what happened. Fearing what they were going to do to the man, he offered to pay them all the money he for the Ring if they let the man go. Shadi advised him not to flaunt his wealth in that area. He said that the man stole artifacts from a sacred place and was to be punished only for act of theft. He said that the value of the Ring was irrelevant, but priceless. He asked if Pegasus was a traveler and warned him that the village was created by grave robbers and that were common. He advised that he leave, saying that the thing he wanted was not there; it was not a place where the sadness of losing a loved one is healed. Pegasus was surprised that Shadi knew exactly what he was thinking, so he secretly followed him.<ref name="d d 73" />

Shadi and his men took the thief to a house of sun dried brick, which was an entrance to a hidden underground temple. The thief was dragged onto an altar and knelt before Shadi. He apologized for the theft and begged that he not be killed. Shadi explained that he did not intend to condemn him for stealing the Ring, but wanted to learn if he was a chose one, someone who the Ring would accept as its bearer. Shadi gave the Ring to his men, who put its rope around the thief's neck. This caused the Ring to pierce into the thief's body and burn him to death. Assured that he was not chosen by the Ring, Shadi reinserted it into the [[Millennium Stone|Tablet of the Pharaoh's Memories]].<ref name="d d 73" />
Sometime afterwards, Pegasus painted a portrait of Shadi, which he hung up in [[Pegasus Castle|his castle]] next to one of Cyndia. However he did not like to talk about either of the paintings.<ref name="d 53">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist|53|ref}}</ref>
=== Taking in orphans ===He once [[File:Shadi and Plana children.png|thumb|right|250px|Shadi, with the children he rescued]]Shadi entered the home of an [[Slave merchant|abusive man]], who had many orphans steal for him. Among the orphans were [[Aigami|Diva]], [[Mani]], and [[Sera]]. He approached the orphans and pushed their foreheads, causing a gold symbol to momentarily appear on them. He then immobilized the man, and killed him with the [[Quantum Cube]]. He then took the orphans in with him.
Once, while talking to the orphans, [[Bakura's father (manga)|Bakura's father]] came in, wanting to buy the Millennium Ring. Shadi replied that it was free, and told him to see if the Ring saw him as worthy. The man put on the Ring, but it rejected him, and he told his [[Ryo Bakura (manga)|son]] who came with him to put on the Ring instead. His son did so, but [[Dark Bakura (manga)|Dark Bakura]] awakened, and murdered Shadi. Before dying, he handed Diva the [[Quantum Cube]].<ref>''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions]]''</ref> Since then, Shadi became a ghost.
===Meeting the Ishtars===

Shadi met [[Marik Ishtar (manga)|Marik]] and [[Ishizu Ishtar (manga)|Ishizu Ishtar]] when they had snuck out of their house, against their family's laws, for two hours. He knew that they were tomb guardians and warned them that from then on their fate would be a tragedy splitting their family with blood and that it was the will of [[Pharaoh Atem|the Pharaoh]].<ref>{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist|172|ref}}</ref> He then disappeared into the crowd despite Ishizu calling him back.<ref name="d d 173" />
===Meeting Yugi===
[[File:Shadi performs Kanekura's weighing.png|thumb|leftright|Shadi performs the [[Weighing of the Heart]] on [[Curator Kanekura]].]]Shadi went to [[Domino Museum]] to pass judgment on the curator, [[Curator Kanekura]] and the archaeologist, [[Professor Yoshimori]], both of whom had entered and taken items from an Egyptian tomb. He first played a [[Shadow Game]], [[Question of Truth]], with Kanekura, in which he performed the [[Weighing of the Heart]], using the [[Millennium Scales (manga)|Millennium Scales]]. He placed the [[Feather of Ma'at]] in one side of the Scales and as he asked Kanekura a series of questions, his sins would add weight to the other side. He asked a series of questions to test Kanekura's morality. As he lied the sins side of the Scales gained weight. Before the last question, Shadi used an illusion to transform Kanekura's chair into [[Ammit]]. The final question was if Kanekura had defiled the territory of the Gods for money. He begged Shadi to stop, offering to pay any amount of money. However this caused the sins side of the scales to hit the table. Shadi then inflicted a [[Penalty Game]], where Ammit was let loose in Kanekura's soul room to devour his soul, killing him.<ref name="d 13" />
[[File:Shadi falls through the floor.png|thumb|rightleft|250px|Shadi falls for a trap in the [[Labyrinth Treasure Hunt]].]]On leaving the museum, Shadi spotted [[Yugi Mutou (manga)|Yugi Mutou]] and learned that he was the holder of the [[Millennium Puzzle (manga)|Millennium Puzzle]]. He then used the [[Millennium Key (manga)|Millennium Key]] to enter Yugi's [[soul room]], but found two rooms; one filled with toys belonging to Yugi and a darker one belonging to [[Dark Yugi (manga)|Dark Yugi]]. Dark Yugi appeared inside his room and invited Shadi in, if he dared.<ref name="d 13" /> Shadi introduced himself as an unwanted guest, who had entered to learn the power of the Millennium Puzzle. If the power was needed he would draw it into his bloodline. Not willing to simply show Shadi the power, Dark Yugi proposed a Shadow Game, the [[Labyrinth Treasure Hunt]]; somewhere inside the soul, was Dark Yugi's true room and if Shadi could locate it he would find what he's looking for. Shadi accepted the game, but then mentioned that once he entered someone's room, he could redecorate it to control the individual or change their personality. Dark Yugi started the game and the place turned into a maze of doors and staircases. Shadi began searching, but the doors were filled with traps. Eventually Shadi was left dangling above a bottomless pit. Dark Yugi saved him and advised that he leave. Shadi parted, thinking that he had lost the game, but Dark Yugi assured him that it was only the beginning. Shadi spoke with Yugi after leaving his mind and saw that Yugi was completely unaware of the existence of "the other Yugi". As he departed, Shadi told Yugi his name, with that being the first time he had ever disclosed that detail with anyone.<ref>{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|14|ref}}</ref>
Shadi spared Yoshimori a Shadow Game, as he planned to use him as a test for Yugi. He redecorated Yoshimori's soul room. After Kanekura's death, Yugi, [[Sugoroku Mutou (manga)|Sugoroku Mutou]], [[Katsuya Jonouchi (manga)|Katsuya Jonouchi]], and [[Anzu Mazaki (manga)|Anzu Mazaki]] came to Yoshimori's office at [[Domino University]] to cheer him up. Possessed by Shadi, Yoshimori knocked out Sugoroku and began strangling Jonouchi,<ref>{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|15|ref}}</ref> until Anzu walloped him with a globe. Shadi let Yoshimori chase Jonouchi around the building, while he redecorated Anzu's soul to use her as a tool in the Shadow Game.<ref name="d 16">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|16|ref}}</ref>
[[File:Weighing of the Mind.png|thumb|leftright|250px|Shadi and Dark Yugi play the [[Trial of the Mind]].]]
With Anzu held hostage, Dark Yugi was forced to meet Shadi on the roof for the game.<ref name="d 16" /> To win the game, the [[Trial of the Mind]] a player had to make their opponent show weakness in their heart. Anzu was stood on a board suspended over the side of a building by a series of ropes attached to the building by [[ushebti]]. Four ushebti represented Yugi's heart, while one represented Shadi's. The ushebti broke up when weakness was detected in its corresponding player's heart. Causing all Dark Yugi's ushebti to break would let Anzu fall and causing Shadi's ushebti to break would let the Millennium Key slide to Anzu's hand and free her from Shadi's possession. Seeing Anzu in danger immediately caused one ushebti to break. Shadi put Dark Yugi through a series of game tests, which he needed to pass without letting his ushebti break.<ref name="d 17" />
For the second stage, he got Dark Yugi to solve another riddle. He showed him nine face-down slabs and had him restrained by an illusion of [[Ammit]], who would devour his soul if he did not answer correctly within five minutes. The slabs were said to reflect Ammit and Dark Yugi had to tell him what was under the middle slab. The nine slabs consisted of eight pairs and an odd one in the middle. Dark Yugi realized that Ammit's mouth was her only feature before the slabs that she did not have two of and correctly guessed that as the middle piece.<ref>{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|18|ref}}</ref>
[[File:YGO-020 Go home Shadi.jpg|thumb|rightleft|150px|Shadi, confronted by Yugi and his friends, after putting them through the game.]]
Shadi's last test for Dark Yugi, the [[Game of Death (Shadi)|Game of Death]], involved an illusion of Jonouchi. The illusion and Dark Yugi had to take turns tossing the Millennium Puzzle to point in the direction their opponent had to walk two floor tile, until one walked off the edge to fall to their death. Jonouchi taunted Yugi just how he did as a bully. Yugi briefly gained control of his body and wept, causing two ushebti to shatter. Unsure if it was the real Jonouchi or an illusion, Dark Yugi refused to take his turns in the game. Shadi was shocked at this decision. Jonouchi forced Dark Yugi to the edge and Dark Yugi refused to take his turn, explaining that he trusted Jonouchi. The illusion then faded away.<ref name="d 19">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|19|ref}}</ref>

===Memory Worldof Memories===[[File:Hasan manga portal.png|thumb|leftright|Hasan.]]Shadi got [[Bobasa (manga)|Bobasa]] to hold the [[Millennium Key(manga)|Key]] and [[Millennium ScaleScales (manga)|Scales]]. When [[Dark Yugi (manga)|Dark Yugi]] and his companions went to [[Domino City Museum]] for Dark Yugi to regain his memories, Shadi sent Bobasa to serve as their guide.<ref>{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium World|3|ref}}</ref> They were initially uncertain about trusting Bobasa, due to his association with Shadi, who had endangered their lives before. Bobasa tried to defend this, saying that Shadi had been testing to see if Dark Yugi was the Pharaoh pharaoh they had been waiting for for 3000 years.<ref>{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium World|4|ref}}</ref>
During the [[Shadow RPG]] Hasan appeared before [[Pharaoh AtemDark Yugi (manga)|the Pharaohpharaoh]], who had fallen into a chasm. After advising the Pharaoh pharaoh to rest, he introduced himself as the one who watches all memories and warned the Pharaoh pharaoh that a great battle was about to begin.<ref>{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium World|33|ref}}</ref>
When the [[Millennium Items (manga)|Millennium Items]] had been placed in the [[Millennium Stone]], Bobasa transformed into Hasan, whom he introduced as his other self and the spirit of the stone tablet.<ref>{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium World|43|ref}}</ref> Shadi, as Hasan, served as a non-player character in the RPG, whose duty was to reveal the hiding place of the Pharaohpharaoh's forgotten name after [[Zorc Necrophades]] rises from his slumber. He told [[Yugi Mutou (manga)|Yugi]], [[Katsuya Jonouchi (manga)|Jonouchi]], [[Anzu Mazaki (manga)|Anzu]] and [[Hiroto Honda (manga)|Honda]] that the Pharaohpharaoh's name rests in the holy place where his soul sleeps, which Yugi realized was [[Tomb of the Nameless Pharaoh|his tomb]]. Hasan then flew away to protect the Pharaohpharaoh.<ref name="mw 44">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium World|44|ref}}</ref>
As Zorc attacked the Pharaoh pharaoh and his priests, whose bodies had been immobilized, Hasan flew in and intercepted the blast.<ref name="mw 44" /> He explained to the Pharaoh pharaoh how he was fulfilling his duty to [[AknamkanonAkhenamkhanen (manga)|Akhenamkhanen]] by protecting the Pharaoh pharaoh until the end.<ref name="mw 45" />
During the final battle with Zorc, Hasan gave his life defending the Pharaohpharaoh, Yugi, Jonouchi, Anzu and Honda from another of Zorc's attacks. His mask cracked in the process, causing them to realize that he was Shadi.<ref name="mw 54" />
