'''Ted Banias''' is a [[Card Professor]] in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! R]]''.  

 

 

Banias is the codename for Intel's first x86 Pentium M chip.  

Ted was hired with many other [[card professor]]s to guard the [[R.A. Project]] by [[Yako Tenma]]. He was seen in [[Reiko Kitamori]]'s flashback playing cards with [[Willa Mette]]. He was introduced to [[Yugi Mutou (manga)|Yugi Mutou]] by [[Keith Howard (manga)|Bandit Keith]], after Yugi asked if Keith was the card professor guarding that block of the [[KaibaCorp]] building, having been gambling with Keith while he waited. [[Dark Yugi (manga)|Dark Yugi]] was worried about [[Anzu Mazaki (manga)|Anzu Mazaki]] and was tired from his previous Duels. Yugi offered to Duel Ted, but was stopped by [[Gekko Tenma]], who insisted that he be the one to Duel Ted, as he wished to help Yugi stop [[Yako Tenma|his brother's]] schemes.<ref name="chp16">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! R|16|ref}}</ref> Ted speculated that Gekko got a bad opening hand after the latter played "[[Graceful Charity (manga)|Graceful Charity]]". He laughed, but admitted that he hoped Gekko would get better [[draw a card|draw]]s. After seeing the rest of Gekko's opening move, Ted asked Keith is [[Maximillion J. Pegasus (manga)|Pegasus]] really considered Gekko to be a great Duelist. Keith confirmed that Pegasus had actually called Gekko a "perfect Duelist". Wondering what kind of strategy the "perfect Duelist" would use, Ted went on the offensive, with Gekko countering with [[Equip Spell Card|Equip Spell]] and [[Equip Trap Card|Trap Card]]. Using "[[Hand-to-Hand Combat]]", Ted [[negate]]d Gekko's cards and cut his Life Points in half with "[[Speed Jaguar]]". Gekko played another "Graceful Charity" and Ted wondered why he was throwing so many cards into the [[Graveyard]]. Ted brought out "[[Assault Lion]]", transferring the [[effect]] of "Speed Jaguar" to it via "[[Medicine Eater]]", but Gekko narrowly avoid defeat with "[[Amulet of Affection]]". Ted was still confident in his victory, as he had [[Set]] "[[Stop Defense (original manga)|Stop Defense]]". Gekko claimed he still had no monsters in his hand, and Ted laughed.<ref name="chp17">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! R|17|ref}}</ref>

Ted taunted Gekko, believing that he had an unbalanced [[Main Deck|Deck]] and asked if Gekko wanted to [[surrender]], with Gekko insisting that the Duel will end this turn with Ted's defeat. Gekko played "[[Armament Reincarnation]]", resurrecting the Equip Spell and Traps he had [[discard]]ed with "Graceful Charity" as monsters. Ted was surprised, but insisted that it didn't matter - none of them could defeat "Assault Lion". Gekko used "[[Power Connection]]" to increase the ATK of his monsters and won the Duel, showing Ted the power of the "perfect Duelist". Keith called Ted weak and viciously assaulted him, eventually knocking him unconscious.<ref name="chp18">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! R|18|ref}}</ref> After Yako's defeat, Ted was seen watching Yugi and his friends from around a corner with [[Pete Coppermine]] and [[Mendo Cino]].<ref name="chp44">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!
