You, the player and third overlord, were one of the heroes that "slew" him, but fell to your death in the process.The Second Overlord flew away and possessed the wizard and waited until the time to strike was right, specifically ordering the Elder Minion(forget his name), to resurrect the hero and make him the second overlord. The second overlord was the one who possessed the wizard in the first game, and basically orchestrated everything. The moody teenager is only called the first Overlord simply because the information on his uncle is too ambiguous and non-existent. However, it states in the lore specifically that the very very "first" overlord, was the uncle of the "moody teenager" in Dark Legend. I like your point and have thought of it before as well, though not nearly in as much detail as you have provided. I know this is a bit late to this discussion but I thought why the hell not. We know that without an Overlord the minions die as seen whenever you die in the game, all your minions explode into coloured jelly so the exception could be entirely possible. Again there are some plot holes with this statement such as how are you the Overlord in Dark Legend, if you are just a moody teenager and not a possessed demon and well you could make the argument that the minions are despereate for an Overlord and he was the closest thing to that. I know that about 90% of that will probably sound like rubbish to everyone but its what I like to think what Overlords actually might be. Everyone else is just like an inspired fan when compared to an actual Overlord.Īnyway, that was my two-cents on the matter. When it comes to acquiring true evil, where you take on the immpression of something that looks like it was literally forged in the fires of hell, thats when you will have found a real Overlord. So, could anyone be an Overlord as long as they are sufficiently evil and ambitious? Technically no, they would instead serve as just a mean person. From this I think we can safley conclude that the Overlord you play as in Overlord 1 will probably be the most evil Overlord we will get to witness as he unlike all others, has actually suffered a physical change in his appearance from being too evil. It explains why we didn't see a physical appearance change with the second game as we didn't have a Tower Heart. Getting back on track, I think that the tower heart was making the corruption level of the Overlord in the first game physical, with horns protruding from his armoured shoulders and causing that dark red haze to linger around him. Probably the biggest show of its potential, apart from teleporting a 6 to 7 foot man clad in magical armour was when * the fat blue magical testicle was lobbed into the Empire City's Anti-Magic Wall.* We don't know all that much about the luminescent blue ball which we saved from the halflings infernal pumpkin growing habits, but we do know that this tower heart is an object of immense power. I believe this is because of the nearby presence of the tower heart which acts as a crucial plot device to the first game and would probably only have some affect to an actual Overlord considering the two are made from pure evil energy.
We see this in the first game and in the second(I wouldn't know about FoE but I think it is best that we all forget that game ever existed) yet it is only in the first game where we can see a physical change in our anti-hero. Whenever the Overlord does something exceptionally evil, it's overall corruption level will increase. Whether this is due to just being a tall man or the possession making you taller I wouldn't know, but lets go with the last one because it is far more exciting.
I'm basing this off from the fact that the playable Overlord in the first game was buried in a crypt long enough for your body to deteriorate yet not die as you're an Overlord and your body is more durable than a normal human, as well as you are about a head taller than every other humanoid in the game. This entity would then posses a healthy host whether it is a human, dwarf or whatever. Even though the games don't give you much of an explanation, I'd like to think that Overlords aren't actually human beings but more demons/entities which are formed of pure concentrated evil.
