Err.. they won't. These are generic tavern heroes, they play no role in the main storyline
They might play a role, the Haven generic tavern heroes could be part of the different duchy's that form part of Haven's campaign...

Quote: This may sound dumb, but I really miss the backgrounds the hero portraits used to have.
I feel the same Then again first thing I did in H5 was get the background mod, I don't even remember how they originally looked like. Probably crappy.
About the hero classes I think they are more or less obvious.
Lord Haart
Biography: A protegee of the House of Stag, Lord Haart showed his mettle from a young age, fighting as Lord Kieran's squire during the Elven Wars when he was only thirteen winters old.
After Lord Kieran's mysterious disappearance, Lord Haart dedicated himself even more fully to the ways of the sword, becoming the youngest Knight to ever walk the entire Duchy. Not to mention one of the bravest.
Gossip has it that when the rambunctious innkeep, Bardon Fleece, mocked the renowned Knight for his reticence in discussing his experiences during the Elven Wars, Lord Haart gave him an impromtu change of dress -with the tip of his blade from three paces.
Eileen
Biography: Lady Eileen first became famous for bringing identical triplets into the world. This miraculous blessing from Elrath was soon defiled as her three sons were captured by mercenaries seeking ransom, and held captive for seven years.
During this period where Emperor Liam himself offered a tremendous reward for the children's return, Eileen turned to Elrath for guidance and became an extremely devout priestess. Upon the return of her children and the beheading of their captors, her sons were far from the gentle Angels that she had once known and were sent to the schools of the inquisitors for a desperate reeducation.
Eileen continues to see them regularly, but she relies more on prayers to Elrath and the education of the church for their upbringing than her personal attention.
Eileen's secret rage at the turn of fate in her life, has given her an extremely pragmatic if not expediant sense of justice.
Sir Jaywoods
Biography: Sir Jaywoods, formerly a knight of the Unicorn Duchy, would tell you that he chose to become a Vampire because there's more life in half-dozen ghosts than a hundred living, breathing townsfolk, and the truth of the matter is not far off.
Sir Jaywoods is obsessed with the future, a fascination that was sparked by his father's passion for history. He wants to know who will rule Ashan in five hundred years, what the constant discoveries of arcane magic might bring, and whether there will always be space for chivalrous men such as himself.
Becoming an immortal Vampire was one way to find out. He wagers that life will remain cruel and bloodied whatever the age, but he's happy to hunt Demons while he waits to find out.
Scatha
Scatha left the kingdom of Tuidhana at the age of twenty-four to study the way of the sword in the Seven Cities at the invitation of the Mageblade Deras Ban, one of the greatest weapon masters in Ashan. She was a brilliant student and studied up until the time her queen was attacked by the Holy Falcon Empire. Deras Ban, extremely fond of his prize student, sent her into hiding in his native city, Al-Betyl, fearing that the High Mages of the Seven Cities would side with Emperor Liam, and that she would be imprisonned as a sign of good faith. While hiding in a luxurious cellar in Al-Betyl, Scatha became aquainted with the cult of the Spider Goddess. There is a great deal of mystery around her conversion, but she is devout and trusted by both the Mother Namtaru and the Necromancer Sveltana.

Quote: On the other hand, I'm glad we've necros that aren't human. Seeing as Scatha is a Dark Elf and Akasha is a Naga, I'm looking forward to seeing heroes of a different origin more.
Well technicli Scatha is more of an elf then a Dark elf. Looking from the point that she had left Tuidhanas kingdom before the Empire attacked and therefor before tuidhane sealed the pact whit the faceless...
Actually, I think you're wrong. Tuidhana will die during the war and thus she has already made the pact with Malassa.
Well if I remember correctly.. Tuidhane died after the demons burned the sylvan tree because she was accused of that deed. The Falcon Empire attacked Tiudhanes kingdom much more earlier. When she refused to accept the decision of the elven king.
And further more. At the time of Heroes VI the Sylvan tree has not been burned yet but the dark elves have already been created. So at the time of Heroes VI Tuidhane is still alive.

Makes sense to leave out Sylvan and Dungeon for the time being then.
The sylvan/dungeon relationship will probably be explored in an expansion.

very nice work, I smell a mod coming.
I think the far right looks fine, the night sky actually fits the lighting of the face quite well, aside from the green glow anyway.

It'd be pretty awesome to get 2 factions per expansion. Hippies and prostitutes in one, wizards and dwarfs/awesome swamp creatures in another.

Eileen - sisters/vestals grow by +6 per week
Great! A hero that has creature weekly growth! I think people are confused with weekly growth: your town's different tiers will grow weekly for all seven (3 core, 3 elite, 1 champion), but external dwellings outside on the map, here you choose which tier you want in each group (ie. you can go for 10 sisters OR 3 marksmen + 3 praetorians + 4 sisters)
Does this mean you just need to have him in your "team", even only as scout, and you get that bonus ? Not sure if that's really such a great idea.. if you have money you will just buy all heroes you can till you get him or other such heroes..

Chronicles Vol.4 - Celebrating 25 years of Might & Magic update on official site like found in news thread
Some interesting facts... but nothing out of the ordinary except "One of the hard decisions Ubisoft had to take was putting aside the old universe for a new setting", if it was that hard you shouldn't have done it, not that I dislike the new universe ....

Except you'd be wasting waaay to much money on that, something like that is only viable if it's extremely late game and you earn more gold then you spend on fully recruiting every creature you can from all sources.

Man Ubihole character designers must be Brad Pitt fans... Lord Haart looks exactly and I mean exactly like Brad Pitt.
Here with the beard but without the long hair.

Sorry to bring negativity to the table once again, but is this going to be it? Is the "big news" we were told about this week going to be nothing more than 2 heroes per day? Are they once again going to dance around the subject of the beta and the delay?

I like the news, there's a different variation to heroes starting abilities here (+4 leadership, +6 sisters growth per week) sounds pretty cool, except the scaling will be different to H5. Game's only coming out in Sept 2011 (perhaps even later) so they got to spread out alot of news between now and then....
When they release warcries and spells, you and I will be smiling
