But "Overlord?" That's a new one. I thought it meant "king demon" or "beelzebub" or "devil." At least, that's what the combination of QuickAtlas and Oh! Text Hooker told me when I was translating the word "Mao." (Remember I said that all the lines in this trailer are spoken from the game; I had to manually look for those lines in-game to translate them.)
But it looks like you know better than machine translation, which is to be expected of course.
all your combinations work, but unless we're dealing specifically with realms of Hell/Netherworld/Supernatural/what-have-you, we can imply that the Evil part from Ma-Ou as a figurative underworld (ie, crime underworld, for example).
Of course, this is quite guesswork, but given Cannoball Run's illegal racing theme (complete, according to this trailer, with unsavory participants), I have faith in my assumptions :3
Actually, Baldanders DOES come from a crime underworld, you're right, but he only works for it, that's not his "origin story," so to speak (in fact a great deal of one of the routes' subplots is devoted to what exactly Baldanders' origins are and why exactly he wants to kill Foxbat).
But he's a cyborg creature and not human and is capable of wreaking all sorts of destruction, which is ALSO part of the reason Higgs nicknamed him "Mao."
Trust me, I have this game installed myself, and in regards to your comment about too many characters, you have NO idea how huge and how long and complex this game really is... ^_^

Mao in this case refers to Ma-Oh/Maou
which you can safely translate as Overlord (cf. Overlord Laharl from Disgaea, his title is rendered as Ma-Oh as well)

Thank you very much!

lit.
Ma (魔)=Evil
Ou (王)=King
