Emperor Solarius

Solarius is the ruler of Empire City and the main villain of the Overlord sequel game. He is revealed to be Florian Greenheart in the climax of the game.

History
At an early age, Florian was bulied by his fellow elves for having no magical powers. He tried to steal the Tower Heart to gain magic after the Eighth Hero vanished into Infernal Abyss. The Tower Heart exploded because of its unstable powers, causing the humans to fear magic. Florian became Emperor Solarius and manipulated them that he wants to rid the land of magic. In secret, he has his minions collect the magic energy and bring it to his palace. Solarius appointed governors in each town to oversee his affairs with them unaware of his identity or motives.

When the Overlord confronted Solarius, Solarius revealed his identity and plans to the dark knight. Solarius contaminates himself with the magic he collected and mutated into magical monster. The Overlord defeats Solarius by oppressing his dark magic against him. Solarius in his final words announces his ascencion shortly before exploding.
