One of the few known Scrin entities, the Overlord is believed to be the leader of the Scrin forces, or at the very least the individual in command of all harvesting operations. The Supervisor of Foreman 371 reported to this leader, who presumably resided at the Ichor Hub. Because of the Scrin's failures and humiliation on Earth, the Overlord has ordered preparations for a full invasion force to be assembled. The Overlord never appeared (its voice is heard only when it orders the invasion of Earth), or personally commanded 371 in the harvesting operations, but only relays the orders via the Supervisor. He also seems to possess certain knowledge about Kane.
