Godric. He's the epitome of a knight in shining armor)))

And the major isn't that great, and the specialization for phoenixes is just silly. And, to make matters worse, he keeps getting pushed into the finals...

They are needed... There is nothing like the Overlord in Ashan, or beneath it. Your favorite, Agrael/Raelag, is just a pawn. As are all the other heroes. Everyone trembled before the Overlord. Cyrus and Alaron were afraid to help Alex, their own skins were more important. Agrael immediately fled as soon as he learned that a reward was offered for his head. Tieru was killed by the Overlord's servant.
Only the Overlord figured out how to use two inconspicuous women to turn Ashan into ruins. Oh, what would have happened if Kha-Beleth had escaped from his prison. Everyone feared exactly that.

Firstly. And secondly, no matter how cool he is (if he were cool, although he simply has better conditions from the start, like the Warlock), his charisma only extends to demons.
Tieru killed the Warlock's servant.
There was a druid meditating on the island, and then a demoness arrives with an entire army. Just because Tieru is a great druid doesn't make him a superman. ------
Only the Warlock figured out how to use two unremarkable women to turn Ashan into ruins.
Biara and Jezebeth? Well, Biara started acting on her own towards the end, and Jezebeth is quite the character: she was hanging out with Aidan even before the events of H5.

might does not equal charisma.
That's exactly what I'm talking about.

The problem is that the Overlord was drawn incorrectly. He looks too much like a human. If he were some kind of monster, he would be much more interesting.
Unless he's a snake. If not, then it's better if he's a human, it's more symbolic. And just making him an ugly creature is stupid and banal.

Biara personally killed Tieru. And what does Jezebeth have to do with it, I mean Isabel? And did anyone, besides the four "heroes," see the Overlord? No one. But everyone was still afraid of him. And where does it say that Biara started acting on her own? Everything came from one mind, everything Shiio did was at his direction. Except for Agrael, of course. Charisma comes either from respect or from fear.

And why is the Overlord an ugly creature? He's just like Sauron.

I disagree. It's banal when a character is the embodiment of evil. But a terrifying monster, even one similar to Baal in Diablo 2, is not banal.
No, that's not it. The Overlord is not a human, but a monster in human form. And in general, trying to scare the viewer with appearance is boring and banal in itself: it is much scarier to realize the fear in your mind.
Biara personally killed Tiera.
Personally, with an army, yes.
And what does Jezebeth have to do with it? I'm talking about Isabel.
I didn't understand the train of thought, now it's clear.
And where does it say that Biara started acting on her own?
After the Overlord was dealt with at the end of the sixth campaign, he washes his hands of it, and the story about him has been silent ever since.
And why is the Overlord an ugly creature?
No one is ugly; I am against ugly creatures.
Charisma comes either from respect or from fear.
Charisma from fear... No, I don't know. In my opinion, charisma is when a person can motivate many people to take action because they believe in him, not because they are afraid. For example, Hitler was charismatic: he put forward an idea and preached it so well that all of Germany stood behind it. But, for example, Nicholas I was not. Both were obeyed, but Nicholas I was a very strict military emperor, whom they feared, and Hitler was an orator.

And what, can horned demons or devils cast spells? After all, Tieru was killed by a meteor shower.
Yes, Biara summoned hordes of demons to Ashan (before revealing her true form). I repeat, Kha-Belekh is in charge, and Biara is just a servant. And no one was fooled. The Overlord achieved his goal; he got his messiah. Instead of Isabel, he put Biara in her place. And in this way, he struck at the enemy's weak spot.

Remember Stalin...

What is it like – a monster in human form? A monster is a monster, and a human is a human. We are not talking about its essence now, but about how much the attitude towards it would change if it were a real monster.
Even in appearance, it is not entirely human; it really looks more like Sauron. And in its essence, it is not a human at all. And this is actually scarier. You don't perceive a monster, like a beast, as an enemy: rather, as a predator, a creature with not very developed intelligence, but not very pleasant intentions for you. Predators are shot on the hunt; that's what an adequate brain does to them, not an instinct-driven one. When seeing the Lord-monster, any such person would want to grab a rifle or a fishing rod.
Not to scare, but to arouse interest.
Interest in what? Malevich also wanted to arouse interest; he even succeeded: before, geometric shapes were only drawn in geometry.

Tieru was finished off by a meteor shower. Fae'daen appeared when Biara had long been with Tieru. Although this is not clearly shown, everyone has their own vision, but I understood the plot this way.

Remember Stalin...
Stalin, firstly, is not very charismatic, in my opinion, but even if he was, he only intimidated those who had some power. All other Soviet people fought for an idea, not because they were afraid of a concentration camp.

The Overlord was initially just a simple devil, not some "overpowered demon lord." He gathered followers around him, staged a coup, eliminating six demon princes, and came to power in Sheol. This is according to the canonical story. So, he turned out to be a strong leader.

Not at all. Monsters in fantasy are far from being just dumb animals. Many monsters practice magic; remember the illithids. Or the beholder. Would you call him a dumb animal? There is nothing stopping you from creating a superior monster with intelligence, even exceeding human intelligence.
They can be Einsteins, but the point is that subconscious perception prevents one from perceiving their super-genius if they have fangs or other predatory traits. But you can certainly evoke fear, and that's what it's all about – to give you a thrill.
Well, naturally, to Kha-Beleth, as a bright and extraordinary entity.
Exactly, an entity! But what is needed is a personality!

Well, that's quite possible. But consider Railag, who first broke away from the rule of one all-powerful Lord (six princes are six princes; in an internecine war, it is often not the one who was one of the initial leaders who wins), then won another internecine war, taking advantage of one of the weakest dark elf Clans, and then got the upper hand (albeit with the help of other heroes) over the leader of the strongest of the existing alliances on his own turf.
