The Kindred
Biography: The Kindred are a coalition of three Duel Monster Types; Spellcasters, Warriors, and Beast Warriors. In time, some of the other Types would join up as well for different reasons.
Back onto Dark Magician, he was born with the name Arthur of Darconia, the student of The Stern Mystic over 6,114 years ago. He learned many spells, and in turn used them to defend what was back then called the Convent of Enlightenment.
Said Convent consisted of a small group of Spellcasters who used their powers to protect the Duelscape itself from Zorc and his allies in the Undead Oligarchy.
The Convent itself was located on a grassy plain known as Spell Henge, their homes surrounded by rune covered, floating rocks that protected the entire area.
However, Zorc's generals proved incredibly powerful, and an army led by the King of Yamimakai managed to destroy the sealing runes that kept the protective magic around. The Convent leaders tried to fight back, but were nearly wiped out.
Dark Magician, praying to find a way to stop the Fiend onslaught, managed to summon a rather young dragon called Blue-Eyes, who agreed to help out of a mutual hatred of Zorc and his men. Together, they sent the Fiend back to the dark realm from whence he came in a Twin Lightning Attack.
Seen as a hero by the survivors, Dark Magician was made the ruler of the Convent, The Stern Mystic giving him a vote of confidence. Although the Dark Magician offered Blue-Eyes the chance to join him, he declined in order to return to his own people.
However, while the Dragon Tribe in general is a longtime rival of the Kindred, Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes have not forgotten their bonds, and will help each other when the chips are down.
As for Dark Magician's exploits after defeating the King, he created an official kingdom called Druishire with the help of a sellsword named the Celtic Guardian, and they formed a Tribe now called the Kindred after their ability to attract beings with their promise of equal brother/sisterhood.
The Dark Magician now rules over his Tribe with his 12 Arcane Knights, as well as a pupil of his own named Lucille of Twilight. Though you may know her better as the Dark Magician Girl.
