The Kindred

Biography: It all began a dark, violent night 3 years before our story's present day; Zorc had begun a vicious campaign to take Druishire and Spell Henge itself from Dark Magician, seeing it as the biggest sore spot in his plans to conquer the Duelscape. 

During the ensuing invasion, Dark Magician was put to the ultimate test in regards to his leadership and magical abilities. Zorc's forces seemed close to finally winning, when a strange figure appeared from above, the full moon showing off his horned silhouette. 

At first, the Ryu-Kishin duo assumed it was one of their own Fiend commanders, but the two were promptly vaporized by the figure's Chaos Scepter Blast. He rained various Spells down upon the field, targeting any Fiend, Zombie or Spellcaster on Zorc's side, forcing even the stubborn Metal Guardian to retreat back to their dark realm from whence they came. 

When the dust settled, Dark Magician and his then relatively small band of fighters thanked the figure as he approached. He bent one knee and immediately pledged loyalty to The Kindred. He claimed to be the Magician of Black Chaos, a being who was a student of Exodia the Forbidden One. 

The Stern Mystic was confused by this, as he didn't know any student with his unique visage. To his credit, the Magician didn't recognize Stern Mystic either, but was glad to meet a Spellcaster of equal integrity and power.

The Sovereignty of Luminous Cloud

Biography: Surprisingly, there have been attempts to bring back the Egyptian Gods and even Exodia himself from their self-imposed exile to a land not even Duel Monsters can normally reach. This isn't easy, as the only way to reverse their spell of exile is to use ancient summoning scrolls once thought to be lost to history.

The truth, however, is that said scrolls are being guarded by a student of Exodia, one who promised to keep their exile for as long as possible to hope preventing the death of the Duelscape. This very student is today's monster, Ancient Dragon. No relation to the OTHER Ancient Dragon in the Duel Monsters canon.

Originally a member of Five-Headed Dragon's court, he retired himself after a fateful battle Exodia and vowed to help his better out in any way he could. As such, he was entrusted with the prevention of Exodia's return, becoming a part of Luminous Cloud's inhabitants and refusing to show these scrolls to anyone.

The Kindred

Biography: Like many wise monsters of the Duelscape, Jowgen was a student of the legendary Exodia, as well as a devout worshipper of the Egyptian God Cards. He's spirit brothers with Tao the Chanter, and joined several fellow students to make the Convent of Enlightenment.

Unfortunately, despite being able to push back the Undead Hordes with his powerful rune chanting ability, he was cut down by the dreaded Neck Hunter during King of Yamimakai's invasion that turned into one of Dark Magician's finest hours. His soul was taken by the Reaper of the Cards, along with several fellow wizards such as Maha Vailo and White Magical Hat.

Tribe: 

The Kindred

Biography: A rather bizarre figure, the Illusory Gentleman is among those who were students to Exodia (which at this point, is about as special as being left-handed). He wears a strange helmet/mask that conceals his identity completely, using his Triple-Pronged Lightning Strike to stun those trying to attack him.

Tribe: 

The Kindred

Biography: Slifer, Obelisk, Ra...these were the Three God Cards that protected both the Pharaoh of Egypt, and the Duelscape alongside the prophet and powerhouse Exodia. Speaking on behalf of the Gods was their high priestess, the beautiful Lady of Faith.

Known more personally as Janice of the Five Stars, this spellcasting healer is one of the students of Exodia, and easily one of the best medics among her fellow disciples. She joined her unofficial lover, the Stern Mystic, in being a part of his Convent of Enlightenment, teaching healing Spells to the young Dark Magician.

However, she perished during the Battle of Yamimakai, which also saw the demise of Maha Vailo, White Magical Hat and even Jowgen the Spiritualist. Though in grief, the Stern Mystic looked forward with hope at the promise of a successor in the form of Dark Magician.

The Apocalypse's Sentinel

Voice Actor:

Crispin Freeman

Tribe:

The Dragon Republic

Biography: He's big, he's intimidating, and he's said to bring about the end of the world! However, this claim is only partly true. 

He is indeed the Dragon of Destruction, but he was also a student of Exodia himself. 

On top of this, he made an unexpected friend in The Stern Mystic, and in turn learned to appreciate the little humanoids that inhabited the Duelscape. 

So, despite his power earning him a seat as the Five-Headed Dragon's general, he was actually a spy that fed important info to Blue-Eyes and his forces.
