Pegasus Crawford

Maximillion J. Pegasus, known in as Pegasus J. Crawford in the Japanese version, is the President of Industrial Illusions and the creator of the game of Duel Monsters. He owns many cards that have never been released to the public.

Pegasus tried to take over KaibaCorp and gain possession of the Millennium Items to combine KaibaCorp technology with the items in the hope of reviving his lover, Cecelia.

Initially introduced as the primary antagonist in the anime's first season, Pegasus is developed into a tragic character who desires to revive his dead mistress. Pegasus eventually becomes an ally to Yugi and his friends by helping them on several occasions. As the creator of the card game Duel Monsters and the discoverer of their ancient Egyptian roots, Pegasus often plays a key role throughout the anime due to his extensive knowledge of the game and its mysterious origins.

Personality
Pegasus is also notable for his foppish manner, dandified appearance, and fabulous hairstyle, all of which have led to him being referred to as "cutie-pie" and an "overdressed prima donna. Pegasus is very vain, by mannerism and especially by having his main computer password simply "Pegasus" which allowed Kaiba to easily access his systems. Pegasus is interested in cartoons, expecially Funny Bunny, which he watched every Saturday morning while growing up in America. Cartoons are the inspiration for many of his cards, such as the Toon Monsters.

Arrival in Traverse Town
Pegasus arrived in Traverse Town mid duel and as such only has five cards on him: Toon World, Happy Lover, Heavy Storm, Dragon Piper, and Dragon Capture Jar. After Pegasus was informed of his situation, he became determined to find a way to find the cause of people being pulled from different worlds and timelines and find a way to harness it in hopes he can bring Cecelia to this world.

Currently he's offering piano lessons to Kallen, who gave him the key to Seto's room. He hopes to be roomates with Seto, regardless of the fact Seto does not wish it.
