Yami Marik, also known as Yami Malik or Dark Marik in the Japanese version, is an antagonist of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series.
Fandom
Even though they share a naming convention, Yami Marik's origin is very different than Yami Yugi's and Yami Bakura's in canon, being an alternate personality of Marik Ishtar created by his trauma and the Millenium Rod instead of the spirit of an ancient Egyptian person; despite that, very often in fanfics he would be treated in a similar way as them. Sometimes this came because the writer was confused or unaware of Yami Marik's backstory, other times they simply wanted to treat all the "Yami" characters in the same way.
