Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki

Shimon, known as Siamun Muran in the Japanese version, was a member of Pharaoh Atem's court, serving as his chief adviser and grand vizier. He was the original wielder of the Millennium Key, though he eventually relinquished his position as a guardian to Shada. Solomon Muto is his modern day counterpart.

Biography[]

Shimon was originally one of Pharaoh Akhenamkhanen's guardians, and he was granted the Millennium Key to hold. His Ka (or his monster spirit) that he summoned was "Exodia the Forbidden One" and after he used Exodia to destroy the force that was attacking the Egyptian capital, he swore to never use it again and sealed the creature away inside five individual stone tablets. He apparently gave up his position as guardian to Shada, and to him he relinquished the Millennium Key.

He plays a largely minor role in the Millennium World arc at first, as he introduces much of the ancient ways and terminology to Pharaoh Atem.

When Zorc Necrophades rises and begins to march on the city, Shimon takes up the Millennium Key that Isis brought back and he summons Exodia to combat Zorc. Although Exodia experiences some success, especially after Shimon demonstrates its ability to regenerate after its arm was torn off by Zorc, Zorc ultimately overpowers Exodia because its power is based on Shimon's, while Zorc can draw power from the darkness. Therefore, Exodia is destroyed and Shimon is killed (trapped in the Shadow Realm in the 4Kids Entertainment version).
