{{herobios table row|source=roe|Xyron|Heretic|Efreet|M|Inferno|Xyron seems to like fire even more than anyone would expect of an Efreeti, but Xyron delights in just about anything having to do with fire or lava.}}

{{herobios table row|source=roe|Olema|img=Olema (HotA)|Heretic|Human|bgc=4|F|Weakness|Olema spent her entire life in Eeofol, but when the Kreegans arrived, she talked them into letting her serve as a guide to the land, and has since proven her ability to lead.}}

{{herobios table row|source=roe|Calid|Heretic|Demon|bgc=4|F|Sulfur|Calid possesses an unusual (though useful) ability to sniff out hidden sulfur deposits.  The Dungeon Overlords have used her on several occasions when collecting sulfur for their fearsome dragons.}}

He sinks the ships near the shores of Krewlod and enjoys his new life.}}

{{herobios table row|source=hota|Andal|Navigator|Human|M|Crystal|While being an experienced pirate, Andal did not always consider himself as a mage or a rogue. He was an ordinary merchant until bankrupting and getting too many debts one day. He started searching for a way to get fast and easy money.

He learned to control the memory of allies and enemies alike.}}

{{herobios table row|source=hota|Astra|Navigator|Human|bgc=4|F|Cure|There is little known about Astra's past, and she does not hurry to tell much. The only detail known is that she visited almost every corner of the world in order to master the Water Magic. She fulfilled her wish of mastering this school after joining the Sea Priestesses.}}

{{herobios table row|source=hota|Dury|Mercenary|Human|bgc=4|F|Armorer|Dury spent the longest time in search for a magician who would not just promise to, but actually eliminate the repercussions of wounds she had sustained in dozens of clashes. One excellent blacksmith was able to forge a siertal plate to replace the part of her skull caved in by a wyvern's tail, and the mercenary now values fine armor far more than any magical malarkey.}}

{{herobios table row|source=hota|Morton|Mercenary|Goblin|M|Ballista|Morton, a veteran of Goblin-Ogre Wars and one of the few who survived the assault on Gowdar Deep, vowed vengeance on the "dirtskins" for the massacre that wiped his home off the face of Jadame.

{{herobios table row|source=hota|Celestine|Artificer|Human|bgc=4|F|Armadillos|The AvLeean druid, who had lost his grove, traversed the wold, imparting knowledge on anyone who sought it. He left the secrets of natural magic and his daughter Mirlanda in Tatalia, while in Eeofol, Celestine was born, inheriting another facet of his talent. Her father taught her how to tame the most violent beasts, offering them friendship, rather than the Tatalian beastmasters' trademark ruthless treatment.}}

{{herobios table row|source=hota|Todd|Artificer|Human|M|Automatons|Few Bracada scientists have actually seen, let alone handled, a hammer or a furnace. Todd, however, had to learn how to use them, unable to convey his esoteric ideas to blacksmiths and coppersmiths. There was also a scarcity of instruments and materials vital to his research in Bracada; Todd journeyed halfway around the world in search of them before finding what he sought in Burton.}}

{{herobios table row|source=hota|Eanswythe|Artificer|Human|bgc=4|F|Weakness|According to hearsay, it was Eanswythe who concocted the potion that poisoned Regna's first emperor Hareck before fleeing for Jadame. If that is indeed the case, then she must be at least 6 centuries old. Ordinary people don't live that long, and whoever his enigmatic crone is, everyone knows: she merely has to raise an eyebrow to make even those most formidable solders drop their swords and spears.}}

{{herobios table row|source=hota|Boyd|Death Knight|Human|M|Skeletons|All scary stories feature a horseman who had been hanged, stabbed or even beheaded and now rides by night, intending to exact revenge on his killers.
