Apparently unsatisfied with mortal women and tired of denying himself the pleasures of life, Sir William has summoned a Succubus Queen for his pleasures, but unbeknownst to him the Queen has infected a majority of the town's population. The plague is a terrible affliction turning people into zombies, the indirect result of the actions of Sir William the Black, who indulges in the sin of lust. After clearing the castle of the mysterious invaders, Rose wants to come to his tower and asks him to check out the plague, because she doesn't care if people die, but if the plague manages to reach other areas, there will be a great chaos. Apparently the city has fallen under some terrible plague. Once there, he meets Rose, who was harbouring refugees from Heaven's PeakВ . When the nearby Castle Spree comes under attack by Ruborian Desert raiders, the Overlord investigates the matter further. The villagers of Spree will either view the Overlord as a hero or feared tyrant, depending on the actions he takes. In the process he goes to save the Reds in Melvin's Kitchen and kills Melvin, dispatching a large number of halflings in the process and retrieving the reds hive. He thenВ proceeds to raid the Halfling Homes to retrieve Spree's food, either keeping it or giving it to the peasants. Once the Overlord found the Tower Heart and took it back from the Halflings, he discovers Spree and the Steel Smelter, which is blocked by flame walls powered by the Reds, so he decides to raid Melvin's work camp to save Spree's Citizens, and captures a crane to start the rebuilding of the Dark Tower. Melvin the Small, now known as Melvin Underbelly, indulges in the sin of gluttony, and has enslaved the residents of Spree for work in his kitchens.

The Heroes, in their celebration of defeating the Second Overlord, have become increasingly corrupt and self-indulgent, believing that being a Hero makes them better than other people.

Unfortunately it was looted off from its original location, and the Overlord went to the Mellow HillsВ to take it back and a much needed crane, since the once mighty tower was reduced to a crumbling ruin. After some years, when he was awakened and crowned Overlord, Gnarl told him how his predecessor was killed by the Seven Heroes to give him a feeling of revenge, and set his course to rebuild the Dark Tower and reconquer his old domains, but that he still needed the Tower HeartВ to teleport to the other realms. He was then left for dead by the other heroes except for Oberon,the Elven King and Hero,who wanted to save him,or at least recover his corpse to give him a proper burial since he fought at their side,with Sir William,the paladin saying that's not necessary,since they vanquished the evil(for now) and that their friend had 'earned his rest',and Kahn wanting to scavenge everything they can and flee.ДЄfter the Dark Tower was plundered of its riches by the Seven Heroes and left as a crumbling ruin, Gnarl took matters into his own hands: Discovering that the Eighth Hero was still alive, he saw a potential successor and had the minions revive him by putting him into a sarcophagus in the Crypt in the Dark Tower's Foundation. The only thing he suceeded in doing that was incapating himself for a long period of time and giving the other Overlord a second chance by possessing the Wizard when he inspected his corpse. He then, unfortunately for bravery or for pride/overconfidenceВ he took a great fall to kill the Second Overlord by grabbing him and jumping from the top of the Tower. Later he joined the heroes assault on the Dark Tower ,the Overlord's seat of power, where they battled fiercely, and finally made it to the throne room, where the Overlord was cornered. He was, at some point, probably as tired as other heroes of the Overlord's cruel domain, he joined the Seven Heroes led by the Wizard, who was once an honorable man, together they freed all the Overlord's domains from his control. This overlord's story before his fall is unknown.
