The Tibian genesis says that the elder gods created the very first human, Banor, the Divine Warrior. It also states that Zathroth stole this prototype and created the very first demon overlord. You can read about it here: The Creation of the Humans.

So I have been wondering, who is this first demon overlord?

Edowir says that:

"demon"            -> "Demons are the servants of evil. More or less devoted servers of Zathroth they cause strife and havoc wherever they appear. Their masters are known as Demonlords, Demon Overlords and Archdemons."

"demonlords"       -> "Demonlords are the generals of their kind. They are more cunning than ordinary demons, and they can channel their hatred more effectively than their lesser brethren, making them even more formidable opponents."

"demon","overlords"   -> "The overlords of the demonkind are more powerful than even demonlords are. They are nearly indestructible. Armoured with layers of impenetrable hide and endowed with awesome magical power, demon overlords are true incarnation of death."

"archdemons"       -> "The archdemons are few, and they are extremely rare. And a good thing, too, for they are the rulers of the demonrace. They are vain and powerhungry creatures who tend to form only small cabals and fight each other instead of allying up against creation."

"cabals"           -> "There are at least five demonic cabals of archdemons. The ruthless seven are the most prominent and powerful."

Making it kinda the hierarchy of 

cabals (as group is stronger) > archdemons > demon overlords > demonlords > demons > lesser demons

Edowir mentions that archdemons are the triangle of terror guys, and also that the triangle of terror is in fear of ruthless seven

so the cabal of ruthless seven must be higher than the archdemons, i mean at all they are controlling the cabal of archdemons, and they have their own minions who are archdemons too

probably thats would be my guess that the ruthless seven were the demon overlords in past, and soon as they gained stength they summoned the minons (inq bosses) making ruthless seven ultimetly the archdemons.

Zathroth could have created the first demon overlord from twin prototype of banor, where the banor was created to get rid of Urgith the god of undeath.

Since all ruthless seven guys present like this:

Apocalypse, Total Destruction

Ashfalor, the right hand of Urgith. The general of the undead hordes.

Bazir, the Great Deceiver, Lord of the Lies

Infernatil, the Incendiary of Hell

Pumin, the Lord of Despair

Tafariel, the Mistress of the Damned

Verminor, the Plaguelord

My guess will be that then, if i state that ruthless seven were demon overlords in past, so the first demon overlord to be born was the Ashfalor, the right hand of Urgith to help him counter the Banor, as his twin brother.

But yet, this is just my research and my personal opinion.

Interesting point of view. I have been searching for lore on this for sometime. I looked up the demons and archdemons but never thought that maybe Ashfalor could've been created to lead against Banor. To me, he was there before leading the undead and Banor came afterwards just wiping them out.

We now have access to Zathroth's library. I am hoping very much to find some lore there leading to answers like this. Even though I am very disappointed that a library contains almost no book... I have been opening every shelf and containers and find nothing. That is sad...

It is something to consider though. Thank you very much.
