* Mortis is a Minion with the special ability to revive deceased Minions. This makes sense, as he himself is a Blue Minion, which are known for reviving dead Minions (though they're mostly limited to the recently-deceased).

Update to some of the entries


* There is an old African proverb: "The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth". What does the Second Overlord do to the village of Nordberg as a child after being shunned by them, and again as an adult thirteen years later?

* There is an old African proverb: "The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth". What does the Second Overlord fledgling Overlad do to the village of Nordberg as a child after being shunned by them, and again as an adult thirteen them? He launches a massive firework to incinerate their holiday tree. Thirteen years later?
after being unfairly thrown to the Empire like a piece of meat, he then returns as the fully-grown and evilly-empowered Fourth Overlord and takes over the town by force with the help of the fireball-tossing Red Minions. It goes further if he follows the Destruction path and leaves the whole place desolate and deserted.



* Sooooo... [[spoiler: In order to prevent her son from turning to a life of evil, [[LukeIAmYourFather Rose]] opted to leave the Overlad in Nordberg. This is knowing that he had glowing eyes of doom and lightning shooting out of his fingers and that the town people were not likely to take kindly to someone so different from them. Is anyone surprised he went from being a picked-on child to a full-fledged evil Overlord?]]
** [[spoiler: The fact that she spent the next few decades helping the Empire dedicated to persecuting people with magic either makes this worse, or maybe indicates she just didn't care about the kid.]]
** [[spoiler: She left her child in a backwater place with people that possess less brainpower than the Minions, and far away from most of the rest of civilization. She then marries Marius and (supposedly) becomes Leader of the Sentinels. This means she's on top of everything they find, and can try to steer them away from Nordberg for as long as possible. Remember, it took the Minions a few years to find the Overlad, as well.]]
** [[spoiler: It's not Rose that was the mistress, it was Violet. Her Dark Tower upgrades ruins appear in the Wasteland area in Overlord 2, so it's highly unlikely that it was the Friendlord that is canon.]]
** [[spoiler: Except Gnarl actually identifies Rose as the Overlord's mother and mentions earlier that she left the Dark Tower prior to his birth as she didn't want him to grow up in that environment. It's likely the tower upgrade you saw was just a mistake.]]

* At best, the Second Overlord was an anti-hero with a case of pragmatic villainy. While his son meanwhile can become a lawful evil tyrant. Makes sense when you consider [[spoiler: his mom is the strict, order-obsessed Rose. He's just taking after his mother, albeit by using the inherited traits of his father.]]
** The overlord we play through in the first game is the third, not the second.

* Let's say that I've decided to go the [[ChaoticEvil destruction]] route for this playthrough. Why do I specifically have to use the Evil Presence spell to kill the townsfolk? Why can't I just, you know, ''whack 'em''?
** You can, as long as they die it counts, be it by axe, spell or minion.

mother in the first game is logical sense, while emulating and perhaps surpassing his father in the third, not the second.
