Marik Ishtar's character in the series question.?

Question

(This will probably sound stupid)

I haven't watched Yu-gi-oh in a while. I need to know Mariks before role his role in the show, and his after role.

Example) Seto Kaiba

Before role: Seto's parents died (Mom died during Mokuba's birth, Father died about 5 years later). When a chess champ. whom had his own company came for publicity, Kaiba beat him in chess winning a bet so he and Mokuba were adopted. The Biological son of this man was unfit to take over the company so it was given to Kaiba.

Middle role:He is an anti-hero against Yugi Moto.He is pretty cold (probably because of his buisness life at Kaiba corp.).His favorite card is the Blue-eyes white dragon and is pretty sucsessful.

After role: I'm not sure but I know in a MUCH later he made some acedamy. I think that Yugioh GX though.

Answer 1

BEFORE:

Marik Ishtar is a later antagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh! and one of the foremost adversaries of the series. His family has guarded the tomb of the pharaoh for generations. Marik holds the Millennium Rod and with his Ghouls organization (called the Rare Hunters in the English anime), he wishes to obtain the three God Cards, and with them, unlock their power for himself so he can gain the title of "Pharaoh" and set his family free.

He also has a hidden agenda - to get revenge on the ancient Pharaoh's soul for killing his father, as he was made to believe. In the English anime, he is considerably more fiendish. He wants the God Cards and the Millennium Puzzle to gain the power of the Pharaoh and rule the world. He believes that Shadi killed his father and is not particularly concerned as he never had any real affection for his father.

MIDDLE:

The sadistic alter ego of Marik Ishtar, he is an entity that was created when his host was only ten years old. After having the secrets of the Pharaoh forcefully carved onto his back, Marik struggled to cope with the agony and hatred he felt against his father. It also manifested itself into his other self, Dark Marik who could only emerge if Marik himself were full of rage.

AFTER:

With this confidence, Marik overpowers his evil self and forfeits, destroying Dark Marik. Marik gives Yugi the Millennium Rod and Ring as well as the Sun Dragon Ra a.k.a. The Winged Dragon of Ra. Marik then reveals the tombkeeper's initiation. The carving of the Pharaoh's (Dark Yugi a.k.a. Yami a.k.a. Atem) memory onto the back of a tomb guardian involves using either a hot dagger (as in the manga), a normal dagger (in the Japanese version of the second series anime), or a tattoo (in the English second series anime) on his back (see below right image). Fulfilling his duty as tombkeeper, Marik goes with Ishizu and Odion and returns to Egypt to start a new life.
