Editing Shadow Riders

The '''Shadow Riders''', known in Japan as the ''Seven Stars Assassins'' 「セブンスターズ刺客, ''Sebunsutāzu Shikaku''」, 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.

==Shadow Charm==
The '''Shadow Charms''' are talismans used by the [[Shadow Riders]]. There are Eight in total, one for each of the Shadow Riders, and one for [[Kagemaru]] himself. Although their origins are unknown, they seem to have powers similar to the [[Millennium Items]], and are, in turn, all emblazoned with the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Terminology#The Eye of Wdjat|Wdjat Eye]]. Being noticeably less important to the story than their afore-mentioned counterparts, the nature of their powers are not deeply explored, but all of them seem to serve the purpose of their respective owner, although they appear less powerful then the Millennium Items. All of them allow the user and his/her opponent to participate in a [[Shadow Game]]. Kagemaru alone seems to understand the nature of these items, and is responsible for their distribution.

[[Image:Shadow_Charm_Pendant.jpg|thumb|left|Shadow Charm Pendant]]
* '''Nightshroud/Darkness''' - His Shadow Charm is actually half of the pendant owned by the [[Gravekeeper's Assailant|Gravekeeper]] then [[Jaden]]. Whole or in parts, it seems to afford dark powers to the user, as well as a certain amount of protection and resiliance against the effects of Shadow Games, and other Shadow Charms.

[[Image:Shadow_Charm_Choker.jpg|thumb|Shadow Charm Choker]]
* '''Camula''' - Camula's Shadow Charm is a choker which allows her both to claim the souls of those who lose to her and place them inside voodoo dolls as well as the ability to wager the souls of others present (even players outside the game) as fodder for her [[Illusion Gate]] [[Spell Card]].

[[Image:Shadow_Charm_Eyepatch.jpg|thumb|left|Shadow Charm Eyepatch]]
* '''Don Zaloog''' - His Shadow Charm is his eyepatch. It allows him and the rest of the [[Dark Scorpions]] to take physical form in the human world. Without it, they become Duel Spirits once again.

[[Image:Shadow_Charm_Gauntlet.jpg|thumb|Shadow Charm Gauntlet]]
* '''Tania''' - Her Shadow Charm takes the form of a gauntlet. This allows her to assume human form (her true form being a tiger).

[[Image:Shadow_Charm_Headband.jpg|thumb|left|Shadow Charm Headband]]
* '''Abidos III''' - His Shadow Charm is a headband that allows him to return from the afterlife and assume physical form.

[[Image:Shadow_Charm_Mask.jpg|thumb|Shadow Charm Mask]]
* '''Titan''' - His Shadow Charm is the new mask he wears. It allows him to channel the powers of darkness as well as affording him a certain mastery over it. Deprived of it, however, he is consumed by the darkness once again.

[[Image:Shadow_Charm_Emerald_Tablet.jpg|thumb|left|Shadow Charm Emerald Tablet]]
* '''Amnael''' - His is the Emerald Tablet, the only Shadow Charm with a history that is not exclusive to the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe. It's fictitious version allows Amnael to trap his victims, soul and body, inside its pages, trapping them until he is defeated.

[[Image:Shadow_Charm_Ring.jpg|thumb|Shadow Charm Ring]]
* '''Kagemaru''' - The master of the Shadow Charms' iconic item is a small ring which allows him to channel the powers of the [[Sacred Beasts]] into himself, not only regaining his youth but also receiving an exponential increase in both physical strength and magical power.

[[Image:AbidostheThird.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Abidos the Third]] [[Image:‎Abidos Linework.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Linework]] '''Abidos the Third''' 「アビドス3世, ''Abidosu San-sei''」 is an ancient pharaoh who never lost a single duel who is the fifth of the [[Shadow Riders]]. Abidos regained physical form through the powers of the Shadow Charm headband he wore. With an army of mummies, Abidos gathers [[Jaden Yuki|Jaden]] and company on his celestial yacht for a duel. During the duel with Jaden, Abidos realizes that the only reason he kept winning was because his opponents always lost on purpose, simply because he was pharaoh. Jaden, however, manages to give Abidos a real duel in which the opponent actually tries to win. Satisfied with his defeat, Abidos departs for the afterlife, giving Jaden his Shadow Charm, the latter making a promise to meet him again in one hundred years time. 

In the English version, Abidos is voiced by [[Wikipedia:Darren Dunstan|Darren Dunstan]], while [[Wikipedia:Mamoru Miyano|Mamoru Miyano]] takes the role in the Japanese version.

His name is derived from the name of the ancient Egyptian city, Abydos.
