[Of all the people to wind up with, he's very fortunate to have integrated with the Voltron crew. If anyone's familiar with strange happenings and death, it's them.

Marik rubs his arm nervously, thinking of how to explain everything. This is going to be a wild ride for them both.]

You already know about my upbringing with the Tomb Keepers. My bitterness and anger grew as I got older. I... couldn't handle all of the trauma I'd gone through. I ended up developing a darker, second personality. In order to keep him at bay, my brother carved his own face with an incantation, remaining by my side through everything from that point on.

I eventually got it in my head that I deserved the powers of the Pharaoh. That I should rule over Egypt. Possibly even the world... So I betrayed the Tomb Keepers, took Odion, and left the clan to... plot my revenge.

[He starts pacing a bit.]

You remember what I told you about Mr. Pegasus and him creating Duel Monsters, yes? He recreated the three sealed God Beasts. I needed those in order to obtain the Pharaoh's powers so I stole two of them from my sister. She was tasked with protecting them. After I got the two, I began my own counterfeiting ring... I wanted to see if I could make copies that would still give you their powers. It seemed promising but...

[He bites his bottom lip.]

... The Gods were not pleased. Quite a bit of my followers died... trying to summon the copies.

We never did perfect it.

[The blonde pauses.]

Is this... making any sense?
