My favorite hero, dragged from obscurity (GRoY): Avivath. He's an avatar
of Antirus, hiding invisibly in the peasantry of Dara Happa. When a
really horrible emperor corrupts the throne, Avivath appears out of
nowhere, toasts him into oblivion with a Sunspear, and disappears back into
the crowd. What a guy! Admittedly, he's a bit local in scope.
Might Avivath be more of an embodied spirit of retribution, rather than a
hero? (That might explain his non-appearance in spite of emperors who feed
folks to chaos demons.)
How about Jannisor? Heort? The Only Old One? Where's the line between hero
and really-successful non-hero?
