Who is (canonically but also to you guys personally) the actual hero in PoE?
|
I dont know who he is, but it is the hideout exile fisherman.
How badass you must be if you can wear pants and fish in this game, imagine his power! |

After reviewing the Gamepedia Suppoter Packs list GGG views anyone with Ruler of Wraeclast, Eternal, Diamond, Conqueror, or Highgate Supporter titles as the hero. After all, they can't just eat Rhoa. ;)

The ranger. She's only here to kill, which is all Wraeclast ever asked of its exiles.

" While Greust's personality is a bit phlegmatic, I'd agree he is the hero of Wraeclast. He holds to his values (and so dislikes the characters for aiding the bandits), values the life of a stranger (Oriathan girl) enough to give a reward. His habit of expectorating wasn't always so. I expect he just made a bad batch of his famous Mudspitter's Stout
Spoiler
From the Templar's tale: Twilight’s rosy aura settled over the forest encampment as Eramir helped Greust close shop for the evening. I was counting and sorting the orbs I had obtained for the day’s haul when Eramir nudged my shoulder. I looked up to see Greust proffering a mug. “Mudspitter’s Stout, It’ll help take the some of the sting out of those wounds,” Greust said. I took the mug and nodded in thanks. “To the last of Kraityn,” Eramir raised his mug. “To the last of Kraityn,” Greust raised his. “To the last of them all,” I raised mine and took a deep drink. I coughed a bit and my eyes watered a bit. “Now you know why the mudspitters cough,” Greust smiled. “Perhaps the stranger should know something else as well,” Eramir gave Greust a serious look. “Agreed,” Greust took another draught and wiped the foam from his beard with his forearm. “If there is anyone who can get to the bottom of this, it’d be you,” he said looking at me. “I cannot vouch for the truth of what the other outsider told me, but I can say that she had brought me more trinkets of victory than any other. The last time I saw her she had a trinket she wouldn’t sell. It was a strange journal and she had an even stranger tale,” Greust began. Eramir cut in, “Mind you, we do not condone torture. The beasts of Wraeclast suffer in their own ways, just as all exiles do.” “The deed was already done.” Greust cut Eramir short. “So it was,” Eramir nodded sadly, “But you didn’t have to see the body.” Eramir shook his head as if trying to shake the memory of what he had witnessed. “I heard all the grisly details from the witch herself,” Greust finished his mug and blew out his cheeks. “She had little mercy in her to begin with, and even less for Alira’s camp.” “Aye,” Eramir took a sip, “ She couldn’t abide what Alira was doing with her faithful.” I hadn’t yet encountered the horrid witch of the western forest, but I must have had a puzzled look on my face, because Eramir elaborated: “The evil hag has somehow found a way to make some of her faithful explode themselves against enemies.” “It’s a crime against nature is what it is!,” Greust fairly spat out the words. “It is what it is in our merciless world,” Eramir waved his hand. “Our world that is coming to an end soon,” Greust dipped a ladle into the open cask and refilled our mugs. “What do you mean by that?,” I asked standing up “Soothsayers are always claiming that the end times are near, is one of them suddenly more trustworthy than all his ilk before him?” “Settle down,” Greust motioned. “You’ll spill your mug.” ...

You are the hero of this game.
And on that vein, whomever you play becomes the hero. The "hero" is whomever character you have chosen. Because without you, Wraeclast falls into the hands of Malachai and the region would be purged of all life. Scion, Marauder, Shadow, doesn't matter. All are there for different reasons (none of which are that noble), but all achieve the same goal (saving Wraeclast). Deliver pain exquisite

Marauder. His ancestors messed things up back in the day and he, as their descendant, is there to make things finally right.

" I smell a great sidequest around that concept (or even a mainquest if GGG has the balls). ... The actual hero? The exile. They may not be good, but they do overall good. They are amoral. Sometimes they are not even that different from their enemies (Witch vs. Piety, for example). What matters is that they kill whatever stuff is in their path to some objective. Add a Forsaken Masters questline

" When I finish dealing with Greust, he spits. But the thing is that when I am done with him i immediately walk away and that spit lands on nearby exiles :) Personally, somehow I sympathize Voll. Probably the only leader who tried to do the right thing. Clean the land of wicked corruption and those gemling freaks, fought for pure humanity.

" Supporting that, while I haven't played all classes, Oyun seems to consistently point to the Exile's defining flaw (e.g. the Duelist's love of nothing but himself and personal glory) as the reason they will eventually succeed. |
