Though some accounts purport him to be an alien from Dark-Nebula B-26, one claims that the Great Leader, founder of Shocker and the most prolific adversary of the Kamen Riders, was originally a human monk named Chan Mao before achieving immortality.
Origins[]
In Kamen Rider Agito, the ancestors of humanity was created by the Overlord 30,000 years ago with the Lords as their protectors. In 20,000 years by Kamen Rider Blade, a member of the human race was selected to participate in the Battle Fight as the Human Undead, with him securing victory and being hailed as the early founder of the human race.
Eventually they began making civilization, but were divided by their beliefs. In Kamen Rider Kuuga and possibly Agito, one tribe known at that time as the Gurongi, who transformed into monstrous beings after finding a magical stone from the heavens and used it to wage war on the other tribes. While the other tribe, who lived peacefully, were known as the Rinto. Being a peaceful tribe, they never had a need for warriors. In fear of their tribe being eradicated by the Gurongi, the village shamans sought the help of the Lords, who helped them by selecting Riku to become their tribe's defender. Although the Rinto's champion defeated the Gurongi, the Rinto's lives were changed. Humans became as aggressive as the Gurongi and sought things to satisfy their desires.
Greeed[]
In Kamen Rider OOO, about 800 years before a certain individual met a certain floating arm, a group of alchemists were instructed by their king to devise a means to harness different attributes from each living animal on the planet, thus creating the Core Medals. After these Medals became sentient beings called Greeeds by taking one of their Core Medals, the king tried to defeat them in order to acquire their power. After defeating the Greeed, the king tried to assimilate them into his body. Ultimately, the process backfired and the OOO driver sealed the medals with the Greeed and the king inside a sealed sarcophagus.

Examples of this are Worm, Fangire, Wolfen, Franken, Merman, Roidmudes, Greeed, Blood Tribe members, and some of the most powerful Undead and Bugsters.
