Biography
THE FIRST OVERLORD

The First Overlord, or known by his servants as Lord Gromgard, like his name, is the first Overlord. He is the son of a disgraced Duke known as Duke Gromgard. He was the successor of the "real first Overlord" Black Baron, which is his uncle. After receiving a mysterious glove from his cruel brother and sister, he found a throne room, where he became the new Overlord with Gnarl and his minions by his side. But unlike any of his successors, he shows little interest to the minions he can't control.

THE LEGACY OF LORD GROMGARD
 * Overlord Dark Legend (PS3)
 * Overlord Minions (DS)

Opening
Lord Gromgard heard that there are a source of power. Rumours said that it can grant himself a great power. Believing that this source of power is destined for him, Gromgard takes a journey to the source of power. But he also heard from his advisor, Gnarl, that there is also a rumour that certain people, even Gods and warriors are also looking for the source of power. Just when he step out of his castle, a portal emerged and there, he started his journey.

Rival
Name : Overlad

Reason : Lord Gromgard was walking at the rival stage. At the same time, Overlad approaches Gromgard. Gromgard and Overlad stares at each other. Gromgard was angry when he sees that Overlad was an "impostor" to him. Overlad commands Gromgard to reveal himself. Gromgard reveals himself as the first Overlord. Then, Overlad doesn't believe that Gromgard was a real Overlord. Then Overlad reveals himself as the fourth Overlord. Then, Gromgard offers a truce to Overlad. But Overlad refuses the offer and prepares himself to battle Gromgard, saying that he will have the "magical" source of power. Gromgard also said that he will have that power for himself. And finally, Gromgard and Overlad faces off.

Connection : Both of these characters are from the Overlord series. Both of these characters are also the "Alpha and Omega" of the Overlords. While Lord Gromgard was the "first" Overlord, Overlad was the fourth Overlord, which is currently the latest. Both of these Overlords has Gnarl the minion as their "advisor" or "second in command of the minions". Overlad loves women more than his father, while Gromgard doesn't like any kind of women due to his sister's cruelty.

Ending
After defeating Polygon Man, Lord Gromgard gains Polygon Man's power. Gnarl advises Lord Gromgard to use the power to once more conquer the Lord's realm. But, Gromgard still remembers his encounter with the Fourth Overlord who also wants the power. But, Gromgard changes his mind. He will not use the power to conquer once more. But to keep peace to his realm. Gnarl, although his mind disagreed, Gnarl still follows Lord Gromgard's will.

Gameplay
Lord Gromgard was a moderately agile character. While his attacks are also powerful, he can also take a lot of damages. This means Gromgard was a hard to kill character. Note : Air version is done like the ground version but the move is executed in air. But, he lacks moves. Again, to counter the lack of moves, all of his moves are chainable. So, what is a combo move for him if all of his moves can be used as a combo?
