The priest and the pharoah fought each other in one final duel. While the outcome is uncertain, it is known that the pharoah locked the magic in the Millenium Items and somehow had his own soul trapped inside of the Millenium Puzzle. 5000 years later the artifact was uncovered and fell into the hands of Yugi Motou, the pharoah's reincarnation. when Yugi finally solved the puzzle, the pharoah became his alternate personality, who came out whenever something went wrong in the lives of Yugi and his friends.
