Personality
He was a man that was well-liked by his friends. He was rather weird, mostly in a battle where he would be taunting his Shaman opponents.

He is also extremely proud of his Egyptian heritage, believing that the source of his Shamanic Magic was the original and therefore the best. He therefore easily loses his cool during his with Team "X-I" of the X-laws as he saw his teammates easily beaten and were defeated as a great insult to their abilities.

Past
Anatel is from Giza, Egypt, and was born on September 1st, 1967. He was the son of a millionaire and used to be a high government official. He decided to join the Shaman Fights together with his two best friends to prove the greatness of the Egyptian Witchcraft that he had learned from his father.

Shaman Fights Second Round
He found out about the Team stipulation and joined with his best friends Kahfre and Nakht to form Team "Niles" and with Anatel's brother Anahol as a back-up. They were paired against Team X-I consisting of Lyserg Diethel, Marco Lasso, and Iron Maiden Jeanne. The match started and Lyserg destroyed Nile's mediums and crippled Anatel in one shot, even destroying his precious mask.

Anatel decided to use everything he had to win. He pulled out the Wings of Death and used it on Lyserg. Lyserg attacked faster but stopped for some unknown reason. Seeing he could not finish it, Jeanne moved Lyserg aside and asked Marco to open the Iron Maiden. Everyone took notice of her enormous power just before Marco opened the maiden. however, Anatel tried to attack Jeanne, starting yelling that little girls like her should be writing in a diary. But he was captured in an Over Souled torture weapon and was killed off by Shamash's Judgement.

Anime/Manga Difference
His role in the 2001 anime series is nearly the same as his manga counterpart; however, his team battle with X-I was not an official Shaman Fight match. As his brother Anahol only appeared in the manga series, there is no mention of Anatel having a brother.

Trivia
