The Grand Overseer
The middling member of the threefold high council of Grand Overseers, Mu is one of the three lords and masters of the Hierarchy and has waged a genocidal war to eliminate all Masari touched races from the universe from the Hierarchy's very inception. Enraged by the Hierarchy finding it's civilization worthy only of being sealed off after the Overseers rejected having their forms altered and were punished following a short punitive war after using what examples of Masari technology they had to expand their empire, destroying much of the Overseers' holdings in those ancient days.
Come a half million years later when the Overseers had not only recovered, but grow stronger, forming the Hierarchy out of other species who believed that they had been wronged by the Masari and their creations, feeling that the meddlesome gods would one day have their reckoning, the Hierarchy would have it's revenge when the Masari went extinct some one hundred thousand years ago, coinciding with the waning of most of the Elder races. Once the Masari perished, the barriers sealing away the Overseers and the Hierarchy disappeared, and now the slaughter could begin.
With it's siblings, Alpha and Omega, Mu lead the Hierarchy forth on a quest for revenge. To destroy the children of the Masari and leave only the Hierarchy in it's place. To this effect, Mu seeks out the MARATHON rings, which it can key to the biosignature of all alien species that are outwardly identical to humans, wiping all unshielded examples of them out from the whole of the universe, or if the theory that the ring's waves compound on each other is correct, throughout the multiverse.
In it's quest to find these massive galaxy sized installations, Alpha, Mul, and Omega have brought about the utter destruction of quintillions of species, assimilating countless more, and stripping massive sections of the universe, draining entire nascent realities dry for more resources to fuel the genocidal war and hatred of the Hierarchy. When strange beings in black and red armor gave it the location of Nov, it was all too happy to personally oversee the final genocide of the Novii, killing all but two of the once far flung Novii species for no reason other than a grudge against those who made them what they are.
Together with Alpha and Omega, Mu is recognized as perhaps the single greatest known threat to the universe today for the sheer, mind boggling scale of the Hierarchy and their mad determination to commit genocide on a scale that has not been seen since the apocalyptic war in heaven millions of years ago. Driven by sheer hatred and unending numbers and industrial might, the Hierarchy's warpath through the universe has been a bloody one, with more dying than there are atoms in an entire galaxy.
Alpha, Mu, and Omega came quite close to realizing their goals with the discovery of the Alpha MARATHON ring, but the destruction of that facility before either the Hierarchy or 612 High Horse could activate it or before the Thoughtsin could break out has prevented that goal. But The three remain confident that they shall find more of the rings shortly. After all, did the Masari not write about an entire array of these doomsday weapons to enact the purge? A purge that could be refined to wipe out all of the hated children of the Masari once and for all, across every dimension, across every reality, across all existence.
And with the Hierarchy's discovery of Earth having Masari artifacts, including what analysis has determined to be a way to another ring, Mu has become very interested indeed, even as it's brother Alpha has gone rashly on ahead with it's own fleet, stumbling onto the fact that unfortunately, Earth was not inhabited by the cave dwelling primitives, nonsapient animals, or lowly pirates they thought, but a huge peacekeeper fleet and a massive superpowered population. But there may yet be an advantage in this for the Grand Overseer yet.
The fires of purification may yet burn to scour all things of the vile touch of the children of the Masari, and at last the Overseer collective's humiliation may be avenged, when the legacy of the Masari is used to destroy everything they created. And when they all die, the Overseers shall let a bitter laugh echo through the cosmos, forever mocking the Masari for giving them the tools they needed to avenge their prior shame. Man, mutant, alien, all of it is threatened by the Overseers' unbridled desire for revenge.
The deaths of countless beings is the will of the collective, nay, it is the will of the true gods, and the Grand Overseers are the instrument that shall light the fire. They are the arm and sword of hatred and spite and loathing. They are the embodiment of the wrath of a people scorned. There can be no mercy, no forgiveness. Only slaughter until the desire for revenge is finally sated and the collective is left the master of all things. Only endless, boiling, untold blood.
Second MARATHON conflict
The Hierarchy recently launched a massive invasion of the earth that resulted in the deaths of a hundred million people native to Earth and the devastation of Exemplaria, Patriot City, Eastern Africa, the complete annihilation of the "city of the gods" Kali, the invasion of the godly realms, the decimation of Neo-Pompeii, heavy levels of destruction to the mutant community and a massive blow to the Amazon river basin as well as heinous levels of destruction to the underwater civilizations of Mu and Lemur.
What could very well have resulted in the extinction of Earth based mankind was halted by it's heroes and villains and the intervention of the Allied Nations Space Command, descendants of the allied powers who pursued the Axis nations and then the Cominterm into space and was secretly supported by NATO today, even after it forged it's own vast and xenophobic empire across the stars. The invasion was then thrown back by a coalition of other enemies of the Hierarchy, but not before grand overseer Alpha found a way to the Delta MARATHON ring.
During this conflict, a serious blow has been dealt to the Hierarchy. The revelation that the Overseers lied to the Zolkri and Riktal was enough to start a civil war in of itself, but then Mu, sensing that the truth was bound to be revealed, ordered the genocide of the Zolkri and Riktal and their replacing by the Mutons and the Jiralhanae. This started a massive civil war in the Hierarchy, further amplified by the release of the Thoughtsin on the Delta MARATHON ring which ended with the loss of the Hierarchy's mobile capital, Klo'vis, to the parasite.
Then of course, came the deaths of the other two Grand Overseers, Alpha and Omega. Alpha was assassinated by being dogpiled by the strike team sent to kill him while Omega perished aboard Klo'Vis as the Thoughtsin overran it. The powers and souls of both Alpha and Mega were consumed by Mu to increase his own personal power as he left the rapidly infested former capital of his empire while he lead his loyalists to make a massive offensive to press towards Earth with overwhelming force, spearheaded by the secret power source of Klo'vis (well secret to non-members of the Hierarchy), a number of fully functional Masari warships.
Still as dangerous as ever, Mu plans on using the knowledge of the crucible, a massive Masari construction facility that constructed the enormous MARATHON rings for them, to activate all the rings simultaneously and key them to any form of sapient life not part of his loyalists as well as the Thoughtsin. Which would result in the single greatest act of genocide of all time. The wave would then continue on to cleanse every other universe within a massive multiversal distance, effectively meaning the end of all human (and most alien) life across multiple realities.
So far, his offensive continues to make gains, and it's only a matter of time before he shows up at the Earth's doorstep with a massive number of destroyer armadas, fleets made out of entire galaxies rendered down into construction material. For he knows that the gateway to the Crucible lies on Earth. He will bring death and destruction to the Earth on an even larger scale than before, and he will make no discriminations on whom he slays, for all humans and human like species deserve only annihilation in his mind.
For the sake of all things, Mu must be stopped. He must be killed, his dream must end before it results in an act of unparalleled genocide.

Powers
Psion: All overseers are incredibly potent psions, but the Grand Overseers are colosally potent ones at that. Their power has never been formally measured, but even gods bow down before the power of the Grand Overseers. The Grand Overseers have shown power and command over all fields and branches of psionics, and one can expect any number of tricks to be utilized by them. The bodies of overseers are so atrophied because they can sustain all life functions purely through the energy of their thoughts, meaning their strength, speed, reaction, and durability all comes from their psionic power, which has to date proven far beyond the ability of any sort of power dampening or psionic nullifier to put down. Those who initiate telepathic contact with a Grand Overseer are as overwhelmed as a goldfish suddenly tossed into a raging ocean. Even Kamal for all his power, is as nothing before Mu's mind.
Highly intelligent: As befitting for such a monstrously powerful user of the mind, Mu and the other Grand Overseers are extremely intelligent, thinking on levels humans don't truly comprehend. The entire Overseer race is telepathically linked, when one knows of something, all know of it. Mu itself has lived for over a million years, constantly gathering more and more knowledge. Were it to put it's mind for the good of all things rather than working towards their destruction, Mu could have changed the universe irrevocably for the better.
Me'traynid genes: After hearing of the Thoughtsin, the Overseers have begun to implant themselves with Me'traynid genetics, which they have found is both the cure and the vaccine to the parasite, Mu is no exception, and now it's very touch burns the parasite.
