“ | Agito! | „ |
~ Overlord/Theos' mental breakdown after knowing that Shouichi Tsugami/Kamen Rider Agito have evolved into Burning Form and defeated El of the Water. |
“ | How futile! You are a mere human... The power of humans can do nothing. The fate of humanity lies in my hand. Very soon... All humanity... will die... by their own hand. | „ |
~ Overlord/Theos to Makoto Hikawa/Kamen Rider G3 |
Theos (テオス Teosu)[1], commonly known as the Overlord (オーヴァーロード Ōvārōdo), is the main antagonist of Kamen Rider Agito. He is referred as the creator of the human race and is the source of the Lords, monsters that protect humans by force if needed.
History[]
Past[]
Long ago, the Overlord was the embodiment of darkness born at the dawn of the universe. He existed and created the world. However, when Prometh, an El Lord embodying the light, felt pity for humanity, the Overlord triumphed over his creation in the resulting battle. But in his dying breath, Prometh bestowed his essence upon humanity in the hopes that they would evolve beyond his creator's control. Refusing to allow such advanced humans to exist, the Overlord created the Lords to kill all humans who possess the potential to "evolve" into Agito while dealing with the Gurongi Tribe who have been preying on humans for their game.
Revival[]
Even though he died around the Pleistocene era, the Overlord left behind a puzzle that contained his own DNA model. After the puzzle was solved, the Overlord's DNA was rebuilt from scratch. This allows him to reform his physical body, starting as a baby when he breaks out of the containment box and escapes from the OOPArts lab. However, his birth was witnessed by Sakiko Mikumo, following him after he matured into an eight year old boy until he was killed by Anguis Femineus, who punished Overlord by forcing him to commit suicide.
Meeting Ryo while he was near death, the Overlord used his powers to prolong his life, assuming his adult form as a result. After being forced to take time off after being nearly killed by fear-moved Gills, the Overlord took it upon himself to personally kill Tomoko Miura, was captured and placed in a mental ward after he recouped himself from the burden of personally killing humans.
As a result, the Overlord decides to watch from the sidelines as Tuan performs various supernatural murders on anyone who reaches paranormal maturity, even though he intervenes once to give Agito a power boost to Agito's Machine Tornador. This would then result in Shouichi, along with Ryo and Makoto Hikawa, further complicating matters and meddling in the work of his envoys.
Before long, casualties were falling on both sides, with the Psychics and Lord suffering heavy losses. But the loss of the El of the Water opened the Overlord's eyes to the fact that users of Agito, Shoichi Tsugami, Ryo Ashihara, and Kaoru Kino, had grown too strong. To this end, he would personally confirm that all of Agito's ships were actively hunted down and stripped of their Agito power, rendering them powerless.
However, the Overlord realized that he needed to kill the Riders to extinguish the Seed he had absorbed. But with Hikawa's help, Shouichi deals a decisive blow to the Overlord who releases the Agito power back to its rightful owner and forces him to retreat. However, the shock that even normal humans had grown strong enough to resist his strength convinced the Overlord that mankind was no longer fit for life, and began to organize their extermination and start anew.
The Overlord will carry out its genocide of humanity: align the constellations of the Zodiac, ultimately killing all of humanity in a bizarre doppelgänger murder starting with those born under Scorpio. To do this requires an extraordinary amount of concentration, which will make him vulnerable. To this end, he created the El of the Wind to be his bodyguard and the El of the Ground to continue killing those who reach paranormal maturity. But the Riders made one last stand and with the El Lords destroyed, the Overlord tried to retreat but was injured by Agito's Shining Rider's Kick and exploded.
The Overlord survived the attack but severly injured and had a conversation with Tetsuya Sawaki before the latter died, the latter's words reassuring him that while he was creating mankind, the Overlord did not really understand him. After that, he hinted that he had decided to put his plans on hold and observe how the humans would use their own gifts and whether or not it deserved to exist.
Personality[]
“ | I can understand humans. I ressurected you so that you could become a witness Agito's death. However, you are no longer needed. Humans, eventually will destroy Agito themselves | „ |
~ OverLord of Darkness to Tetsuya Sawaki |
The Overlord/Theos was the creator of all life and he believes that all life he created could coexist peacefully. However, after he saw that humans engage in a war with Lords because of the accumulating humans act of oppresion towards other lifeforms as well as the rebellion of one of his El Lords, Prometh whom he gave his power to humans in order for them to evolve beyond Overlord/Theos control. He believed that some day the humans who recieved the Seed of Agito from Prometh should be eliminated. Because of this, he became disillusioned with the existence of Agito (humans who get the power from Prometh).
After he was hit by Shouichi Tsugami who have his power taken by him, he began to realize that even humans without the Seed of Agito could surpass him, therefore he tried to commit genocide to both humans and Agitos by changing the constellation Scorpio into the shape of a cross and starting to disguise himself as a person who has the zodiac sign Scorpio. Even, after he had been defeated by the 3 Riders (Agito, G3, and Gills) who have teamed up, the Overlord believed that humans would one day kill Agito untill he warned by Tetsuya Sawaki, a man whom he revived to be his pawn, that he finally realized that human could potentially evolve endlessly.
