Timaeus was a legendary knight from the city of Atlantis.

Timaeus

He also aided Ironheart in the Battle of Atlantis. His name is pronounced as "tim-EYE-us" in the English version of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters anime series.

Background

Timeaus and the other two legendary knights, known as Critias and Hermos had all resided in the Spirit World, until the city of Atlantis is corrupted by the Orichalcos. Ironheart who was the former ruler of Atlantis had summoned them to the human world to help him thwart Dartz's efforts to wipe out the population of Atlantis in the misled hopes of starting the kingdom anew. However Dartz was able to weaken the knights by trapping them in the forms of three dragons.

The three Legendary Dragons, had all fought alongside rebels from the city of Atlantis and other Duel Monster Spirits against Dartz, Orichalcos Soldiers and The Great Leviathan. Timaeus successfully defeated a number of Orichalcos Soldiers. Dartz however teased his power, by striking him with lightning and also taking out his left eye by any means of the Sword of Kings.

The battle concluded with neither side being victorious, and the city of Atlantis sinking to the bottom of the sea. The three Dragons were then sealed in crystal prisons, while waiting to be freed if need should chaos ever arise.

Personality

His personality resembles that of Yami Yugi. He doesn't seem to have a hateful arch rivalry with Critias. However he does have huge hatred for Dartz because he had cutted his left eye.

Appearance

Timeaus, just like the other two Legendary Knights, is named after one of Plato's dialogues, in which are the source of many of the rumors pertaining to the lost city of Atlantis.

In his human form, Timaeus dons a mix of teal and dark green armor, and is characteristically missing one eye from a past encounter with Dartz. In this case his left eye that has a scar running down it. Like the other two knights, he bears a similar facial expression to his chosen Duelist, Yami Yugi. Timaeus's humanoid color scheme continues into his dragon form, where he is also mostly teal. He has fair skin, eyes and thick eyebrows.

Abilities

As a fighting card, Timaeus had the ability to combine itself with Yugi's other monsters. He aided Yami Yugi in his Duel against Rafael, but disappeared after Yami Yugi played "The Seal of Orichalcos". After Yugi lost his soul to Dartz, Yami Yugi tried to summon "Timaeus" against Weevil Underwood, Yami was deemed unworthy after his transgressions in his previous Duel. After that Yami Yugi came into contact with the spirits of Ironheart and Chris. They then helped Yami Yugi recover his self-esteem and ultimately allowed him to summon Timaeus again. Yami Yugi did summoned the dragon such as when he battled Dartz's minions. He also uses a sword.
