#OVERLORD ANIME CHARACTERS TOO YOUND FULL#
Eviler Than Thou: Play for full corruption, and you pull this on the Fallen Heroes.Namely, he canonically saves the last elven women (as the elves are still around, likely meaning he's not into causing racial extinction even if the elves are annoying), and he stays faithful to Rose (whether it be through actually loving her, being against adultery, or acknowledging her usefulness over her less reliable sister). Even Evil Has Standards: No matter how Evil you make him in your playthrough, canonically, he made at least two Good-aligned choices according to the sequel.Even Evil Has Loved Ones: One possible reason why he was canonically faithful to Rose, that he truly loved her.The Dragon: He unknowingly played this for the previous Overlord inhabiting the Wizard's body, offing the fallen Heroes so he could reclaim his throne.Deity of Human Origin: At the end of Raising Hell the Overlord kills the Forgotten God and becomes the new ruler of the Abyss, which presumably makes him a god.If you pursue the corruption path, his armor eventually darkens and demonic spikes start growing out of his skin, until the armor is black as night as the spikes on his shoulders reach to the top of his head. Black Knight: By default, he's an intimidating Tin Tyrant in ridged armor and a spiky helmet.However, the Minions healed him and branded him their new master depending on the player's actions, he can either be a more benevolent, pragmatic ruler or an out and out tyrant is far worse than his predecessor. Big Bad Slippage: He started out as another hero who gave his life defeating the previous Overlord.If you want to be true Evil, a lot of innocent people need to die to the Overlord directly. One of the biggest chunks of corruption - and likely to be the last one you need before 100% corruption, is to kill a thousand citizens.


Authority Equals Asskicking: Subverted in the very beginning where the Overlord can't really stand up in a straight-up fight and relies on his minions.Anti-Villain: A low corruption Overlord is a merciless force towards threats, and seems to very much enjoy the power and position he holds, but he never raises a violent hand towards innocents, and at several points makes choices that are decidedly heroic.An Axe to Grind: His default weapon is a battleaxe.Armed with a suit of heavy plate armor, a massive weapon, and an army of minions he now seeks revenge against the heroes who slew the previous overlord. Awakened by the minions to rebuild and reinstate a reign of terror after his predecessor was slain by heroes. Species: Human (later deity) Appearances: Overlord I | Overlord: Raising Hell
