Personality

Hero was a genial, encouraging man who secretly supplied the first Wards team with video games and movies so that they could have an enjoyable pastime between their work as heroes and after school.<ref>Crushed 24.x (Interlude; Chevalier)</ref>

Riddled with health problems from an early age, Hero considered Cauldron heroes after the formula they gave him cured his illnesses.<ref name=":0" />

He had a leadership position in the early Protectorate, even though he believed that he would not be suited to one.<ref name=":1">Interlude 14.5 (Bonus Interlude) </ref>

Appearance

Hero had blond hair and wore a golden helmet and body armor with blue chain mesh.<ref> 13.x (Interlude; Piggot)</ref>

Abilities and Powers

Hero was considered to be the preeminent Tinker of his day. Hero's specialization was not known because he lived before Tinker specializations were considered, but Legend correctly theorized that Hero specialized in wavelength manipulation, similar to the stilling powers that Zion and Eden employed, with broad applications stemming from few restrictions on his shard.<ref>Reddit comment by Wildbow</ref>

His creations included a disintegration gun, a jetpack, sonic weapons, and small, surprisingly effective power sources and explosives.<ref name=":1" />

History

Background

For much of his early life he was beset with terminal health problems such as organ problems, diabetes, and chronic headaches until an unmitigated Cauldron formula cured him of his illnesses.<ref name=":0">Interlude 29</ref>

Career

In 1988, Hero agreed to Alexandria's idea of forming a government-regulated superhero team with Cauldron's backing.

Hero was present when Behemoth emerged for the first time in 1992.

In 1993, he was sworn in alongside Alexandria, Legend, and Eidolon as one of the founding members of the Protectorate.

On September 15, 2000, Siberian bisected him in a confrontation between her and the Triumvirate. Eidolon attempted to heal Hero, but he ultimately died.<ref>15.z (Donation Interlude 3; Alexandria)</ref>

Legacy

His loss splintered the Triumvirate, resulting in the members going their separate ways.<ref>Reddit comment by Wildbow</ref>

Hero remained in the public eye even after his death, recognized as both the first Tinker and one of the best. Because of this, other Tinkers, such as Kid Win, strived to emulate his model.<ref name=":1" />

 <!--I know we don't hear much about him other than he was the greatest Tinker in the world at the time (Legend theorized his powers had to do with wavelength manipulations). Other than that we hear he had a disintegration gun, sonics, and a jet-pack which just sounds like stuff Legend can do but better.

 <!--“Hey,” the blond guy said, “I spent my entire life with this heart problem, you know?  Heart going a little too fast, reedy, thin heartbeat.  Reminding me it could pop at any moment.  Organs are garbage, diabetes at twenty-two, liver problems turn me yellow if I’m not careful, throwing up bile every morning and every night.  Every moment of every day, there’s something making me miserable.  Except, right now, I’m sort of feeling every part of my body, and the heart’s good, no headache, nothing in my throat, nothing in my gut.  No tremor in my hand…”-->
 === Career ===
-Hero was introduced to [[Alexandria]] and said that he had heard of her before mentioning how her takedown of Strongarm and Mongler was impressive. He then listened as [[Doctor Mother]] told them about Alexandria's abilities before she asked them to consider two things. Alexandria explained her idea of forming a government-regulated superhero team and Hero asked her why she would want him or [[Legend]] to lead it instead of [[Eidolon]].
+In 1988, Hero agreed to [[Alexandria]]'s idea of forming a government-regulated superhero team with Cauldron's backing.
-Alexandria told him that Eidolon was too powerful and that he wouldn't be able to convey the impression they wanted. He then listened as Alexandria explained how her plan would survive contact with the government before saying that it seemed too manipulative. Alexandria offered him the information regarding the plan and asked him to consider it.
+Hero was present when [[Behemoth]] emerged for the first time in 1992.
-After [[Contessa]] had [[Doormaker]] open a portal, he approached it alongside Eidolon and looked out of it. Doctor Mother told him that was where she would base her operations in the future and confirmed that it was another Earth. Professor Manton handed out booklets detailing Alexandria's plan before he traveled through a portal to Chicago.
+In 1993, he was sworn in alongside Alexandria, [[Legend]], and [[Eidolon]] as one of the founding members of the Protectorate.
-Hero was present when [[Behemoth]] emerged. After seeing what Behemoth could do, Legend told him to call for as much help as he could. He then cursed as he was informed that they were close to some major oil fields. Later, Hero was sworn in alongside Alexandria, Legend, and Eidolon as one of the founding members of the Protectorate.
+On September 15, 2000, [[Siberian]] bisected him in a confrontation between her and the [[Triumvirate]]. Eidolon attempted to heal Hero, but he ultimately died.<ref>[[15.z (Donation Interlude 3; Alexandria)]]</ref>
-=== Case 1 ===
-Hero and Alexandria were the last to arrive on the scene, entering through a window, before he asked if they had gotten Siberian cornered. He wondered about why the cape hadn't tried to leave before Legend told them that she had a hostage. He listened as Legend told them that they would be trying out a new experimental procedure before entering. After shrugging out of the crystals Eidolon attempted to confine her with, Siberian lunged towards Hero. She plunged her hand through his chest cavity and bisected him before Eidolon carried him outside. Eidolon attempted to heal him, but Hero ultimately died.<ref>[[15.z (Donation Interlude 3; Alexandria)]]</ref>
