“	I have to introduce you to Overlord. He's the best pilot I know.	„
	~ D.Va

Overlord, whose real name is Seung-hwa Shi, is a member of South Korea's Mobile Exo-Force.

Story

Overlord is the youngest member of the MEKA Squad.^[1] He appears to have a support role, assigned to repair the other mechs of the squad.^[2] D.Va regards him as the best pilot she knows.^[3]

Shooting Star

Seung-hwa helped to defend Busan from the Gwishin Omnic attack, but was injured in the battle. Afterwards D.Mon gave him a hand in getting out of his downed mech. He later took part in a press conference.^[4]

New Blood

After Null Sector's assault on Paris, Jae-eun and the rest of the squad watched the news reports on the attack. Captain Myung told the squad that MEKA would not be contacting the newly-reformed Overwatch, and ordered the squad to remain alert for another Gwishin attack. Not long afterwards, such an attack occurred, but not from the Gwishin. Instead, Null Sector was attacking Busan, deploying ground forces via its command ship. The squad was deployed, and was split into two groups. D.Va and King were assigned to take out the command ship, while Seung-hwa, Casino, and D.Mon remained groundside to deal with the Null Sector forces.

The plan went awry immediately, as King was shot down and Casino and D.Mon were overwhelmed. However, the tide turned with Overwatch's arrival. While Overwatch dealt with the ground forces, Overlord got out of his mech and initiated system repairs to Casino and King's mechs, while Baptiste deployed an immortality field to protect him. With repairs completed, Overlord got back into his mech, and subsequently took part in a synchronized strike with the rest of the squad against the command ship. They fired their weapons together, and caused the command ship to retreat. This only left the groundside forces to be dealt with.

Busan was saved, and Overlord thanked Overwatch for their help. Afterwards, the squad returned to MEKA Base.^[2]

Trivia

• Overlord's mech is named Mastermind.^[5]
• Overlord's username, as well as his mech's, are possible references to StarCraft. Overlord is a reference to the zerg units of the same name, while the mech's name is a possible reference to the specific mastermind overlords found in the campaign. Furthermore, a StarCraft-themed backpack can be found outside his room on the Busan map, and the Mastermind's design bears resemblance to the Banshee.
