Editing Priest Akhenaden (section)

=== Background ===
Akhenaden served as the adviser and brother to Pharaoh Akhenamkhanen. When Egypt faced an invasion that threatened the palace, Akhenaden proposed using a spell from the Millennium Tome to create the Millennium Items. Recognizing the dire threat to his kingdom, Akhenamkhanen reluctantly agreed.

To protect his family from retribution for his actions, Akhenaden abandoned his wife and son, Seto. He led soldiers to the village of Kul Elna, where he ordered the massacre of its inhabitants and collected their blood for the ritual to forge the Millennium Items. This horrific event left only two survivors: the future Tragoedia and Bakura. Akhenaden kept the atrocities a secret from his brother.

The ritual succeeded, and Akhenaden became the bearer of the Millennium Eye. Legend claimed the Eye could grant one wish, and although Akhenaden doubted this, he wished for his son to ascend to kingship. With the Millennium Items, Akhenaden, Akhenamkhanen, and five other priests repelled the invading army.

After Akhenamkhanen's death, Akhenaden served under his nephew, [[Yami Yugi|Pharaoh Atem]]. He also trained his son, Seto, who had risen to power as a High Priest and the holder of the Millennium Rod. Unbeknownst to Seto and Atem, they were cousins, as Akhenaden never revealed his relation to Seto.
