The '''Shadow Riders''', known in Japan as {{About|the ''group|the arc|[[Seven Stars Assassins'' (セブンスターズ刺客, ''Sebunsutāzu Shikaku''arc), serve as the main antagonists of the series' first season, intent on resurrecting the [[Sacred Beasts]]. They are composed of seven [[duelist]]s and their leader of varying origins and backgrounds who each have their own agendas, the Shadow Riders.}}
==History==Enlisted by the elderly Kagemaru in his quest to retrieve his lost youth, the Shadow Riders are a collection of elite duelists who work towards the goal of reviving the [[Sacred Beasts|Sacred Beast Cards]] (三幻魔, ''Sangenma'', Three Phantom Demons). Each of the members that [[Jaden Yuki|Jaden]] and company face possess a [[Shadow Charm]] (闇のアイテム, '''Yami no Aitemu''', ''Dark Item'' in the Japanese version), similar to the [[Millennium Items]] in terms of supernatural power, but of unknown origin. These relics bestow upon their owners different abilities depending on the Shadow Rider in question. In the past, [[Kagemaru]] was forced to seal the Sacred Beasts away behind the [[Spirit Gate|Spirit Gates]] underneath [[Duel Academy]] due to their inability to grant his wish at that time. In order to access their true abilities, he bestows upon [[Chancellor Sheppard]] the [[Spirit Keys|seven keys]] capable of unlocking the Spirit Gate, and pits his subordinates against the school's finest to create the strong dueling presence needed to resurrect the Sacred Beasts. ==Members=====Nightshroud==={{Infobox/Yu-Gi-Oh!

Nightshroud sets a [[Shadow Game]] in which the loser would have his soul sealed in a card. When defeated, Nightshroud's soul which represented by the mask is sealed away, and [[Atticus Rhodes|Atticus]], who had been the dark personality's vessel, is freed. During the [[Genex tournament]], Atticus uses Nightshroud's deck in hopes of convincing his friend, [[Zane Truesdale|Zane]], that the dark path taken by a duelist is a terrible course. As a result, Nightshroud's influence that lay dormant within his cards is once again able to take control of Atticus, only to be permanently banished following his defeat. '''Character design'''<br>[[Image:Darkness Linework.jpg|thumb|180px|left|Nightshroud's design incorporates multiple layers of clothing and a wide range of expressions.

Nightshroud wears a tight-fitting overcoat with raised shoulders and waistline and gold and green trimmings. His dark dragon mask, similar to that worn by his signature monster "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon]]", is completely black with the exception of blue eye-pieces and a red stone in the center of the forehead. In this incarnation, the bangs closest to his face are positioned in front of the mask. '''Deck'''<br>Nightshroud plays a "[[Red-Eyes B. Dragon]]"-based [[Dragon Deck]].

She’s very serious when it comes to dueling for she hopes to revive her race from its destruction by the people of Medieval Times. Camula is voiced by [[Wikipedia:Bella Hudson|Bella Hudson]] in the English dubs and [[Wikipedia:Kanako Irie|Kanako Irie]] in the Japanese version. Camula's name is derived from the name of Joseph Sheridan le Fanu's novel, [[Wikipedia:Carmilla|Carmilla]]. '''Character design'''<br>[[Image:Vampire Camula Linework.jpg|right|thumb|180px|Camula's design incorporates a wide range of expressions. Depicted here is the [[Shadow Rider]] in full regalia from front, side, and rear alongside views of her head from different angles.]] Camula's character design was overseen by Kenichi Hara. Her usual outfit consists of a long dress, displaying her cleavage with long slits revealing the side of her legs, straps crossing her arms just below her shoulders attached to a cape and bat broaches below her cleavage and above the slits, gold armbands and bracelets on both arms, and healed shoes with laces continuing up her shins. She has long straight green waist length hair with one large curl above her forehead. She wears her own exclusive Shadow Rider [[Duel Disk]] that's [[Monster Card ZonesYu-Gi-Oh! GX]] were in the shape of bat's wings, on her left arm.
'''Character biography'''<br>
She had been asleep within her coffin until [[Kagemaru]] uncovered it and invited her to join the Shadow Riders. She captures the souls of her opponents following their losses within dolls to fuel her cause, and uses the Shadow Charm choker around her neck to bet the souls of others in conjunction with the Shadow Game-exclusive [[Illusion Gate]], (a powerful card that requires her to give a soul to the [[Sacred Beasts]] if she looses after playing it, but it has the power to over up anyone's she wishes) to ensure victory. She manages to obtain the keys off [[Vellian Crowler|Crowler]] and [[Zane]], but during her duel with [[Jaden Yuki|Jaden]], her [[Shadow Charm]]'s power is negated by the completed item that Jaden possesses. Out of over self-confidence, Camula places her own soul on the line (in the Japanese version, she does not have a choice because the card was already activated), and it is dragged into the Gate after she loses, leaving her body an empty husk which crumbles into dust.
 
'''Deck'''<br>
Camula plays a '''Vampire-orientated [[Zombie Deck]]'''. Several of her monsters such as [[Zombie Werewolf]] and [[Vampire Bat]] can feint revival by either summoning or discarding additional copies of themselves when destroyed through battle. Camula is also able to combine the recursion ability of [[Vampire Genesis]] with [[Genesis Crisis]] to repetitively raise her undead army from the Graveyard.
