Editing Priest Akhenaden (section)

== Personality ==
Akhenaden is a complex character, torn between familial love, ambition, and guilt. As a High Priest, he is highly intelligent, calculating, and deeply committed to the protection of Egypt, even if it means resorting to heinous acts. His suggestion to create the Millennium Items shows his willingness to sacrifice others for what he believes is the greater good.

Despite his dark deeds, Akhenaden retains a degree of humanity. He shows affection for his son, [[Priest Seto|Seto]], training him and harboring the wish for him to ascend the throne, though he keeps their relationship a secret. He also demonstrates mercy, as seen in his decision to spare a criminal after exorcising the Dark Spirit of Chaos.

However, Akhenaden’s jealousy of his brother, Akhenamkhanen, and his belief that Seto deserves to rule drives him to betrayal. His internal conflict and descent into darkness are further exacerbated by Zorc's manipulation, ultimately transforming him into a corrupted figure willing to sacrifice anything for his son’s ascension.

In his final moments, Akhenaden is a tragic figure—a man consumed by his ambitions and regrets, whose love for his son leads him down a path of ruin and destruction.
