Tragoedia



Tragoedia is the main antagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga. He was formerly a citizen of Kul Elna and survived the village's massacre. This ultimately resulted in the creation of a powerful ka. He was sealed by several of The Sacred Guardians, and reemerges in modern times by possessing the bodies of others, with his goal being to destroy spirit monsters that can threaten his power..

Biography
Back in the times of ancient Egypt when Aknamkanon ruled, he was one of the citizens of the village of Kul Elna, who gained an upper position in the Pharaoh's entourage as a court astronomer. However, after learning about the massacre that decimated his village (ordered by Akhenaden so as to create the Millennium Items), his hatred and anger led to the creation of an extremely corrupted and powerful ka, that being Tragoedia. While judged by the original priests who held the Millennium Rod and Millennium Scale, and by Akhenaden himself, the criminal was judged through the ba Winged Kuriboh, which was white at the time, but turned black after coming into contact with the malice inside the man's heart. Tragoedia attempted to kill the priests, and Winged Kuriboh absorbed the Feather of Ma'at. Tragoedia was sealed then, though his power was so great that he remained aware of himself even while sealed, and so his tablet was smashed and its remains buried in the royal tombs. Akhenaden and the other priests vowed to take the memory of what happened there to their graves, so as not to alarm the Pharaoh.

Three thousand years later the burial chamber in which Tragoedia lay sealed was opened by archeologists, offering the monster freedom and letting him pursue his revenge. His main host is Principal MacKenzie of the American branch of Duel Academy. Through him, he was able to possess David Rabb, whom he sent to Duel Academy's main branch with Reggie MacKenzie in order to obtain the spirit card in which his heart was still sealed - "Winged Kuriboh". After Rabb's defeat at the hands of Chazz Princeton, Tragoedia uses Reggie as his main enforcer, but does not appear to have the same influence over her as she did over David, as she plots against him at the same time. Principal Mackenzie journeys to the main branch of Duel Academy, and Tragoedia begins using James Crocodile Cook to continue the quest that Reggie had abandoned.

As an embodiment of wickedness and corruption, Tragoedia can possess people at will and use the power of darkness as a mean to restrain, kill or plunge any duel into a dark counterpart of itself, much akin to a Shadow Game. He is however extremely weak against the powers of the "Light and Darkness Dragon", calling it the Feather of Ma'at, as when Chazz met Koyo Hibiki, Winged Kuriboh's spirit transferred the Feather of Ma'at it had absorbed in Egypt into Chazz's "Light and Darkness Dragon" card, thus giving it its spirit.
