**The Overlord** is a sinister dark entity, the creator of the Stone Amy, as well as the source and embodiment of all darkness and evil in Ninjago. He first appeared as a manifestation of Darkness itself that challenged the First Spinjitzu Master, eventually taking the form of a dragon. After a lengthy battle, the First Spinjitzu Master succeeded, defeating the Stone Army and trapping the Overlord on the Dark Island.

## Biography

### Creation of Ninjago

When the First Spinjitzu Master created Ninjago, the Overlord emerged from the shadows to counteract the First Spinjitzu Master's light. The two fought each other for control of Ninjago, however, they were evenly matched and their fight would go on for eternity. Knowing this, the Overlord created the Stone Army, begins made of indestructible material that could only be found on the Dark Island.

He was almost successful in his goal, but the First Spinjitzu Master split the continent in half, stranding the Overlord and a majority of his army on the west coast, which would later be known as the Dark Island. This balanced the forces of light and darkness, preventing the Overlord from leaving the Island of Darkness as it slowly sank beneath the sea. For thousands of years, he plotted the events that would lead to his return.
