Overlord was a former Crimson Guardsman who saw an opportunity to usurp the
Cobra hierarchy. Charismatic and powerful, he drew many followers to his
side by using the platform of a return to traditional Cobra values - gradual
by steady world conquest and acquisition of personal wealth - rather than
hopelessly following the far-fetched schemes of the old leadership.
While he has attempted various allegiances over the years with others, he now
has foresworn any further alliances and has devoted himself to raising his own
secret army, the Coil. While his plans have taken years to grow to
fruition, he continues to slowly writhe his way back into the inner circle of
Cobra, and vows to wrest control of the serpent bedecked throne of
Cobra Commander once and for all.
In order to win the latest mercenary challenge, Overlord must use his amassed
knowledge, contacts, and other covert resources to determine the whereabouts
of the G.I. Joe's premiere Drill Instructor,
Sgt. Slaughter. He wishes
nothing more than to sink his claws into the prize. However, his
ultimate goal is use Cobra Commander's own wealth to strengthen the Coil army
and use it to overthrow the Cobra Empire.
