=== Hero Data ===
Hero data is written as follows:

<span style="color:orange">GG</span>000000 <span style="color:red">RR</span>000000 <span style="color:blue">HH</span>000000 <span style="color:green">SO</span>000000 <span style="color:turquoise">OL</span>000000 <span style="color:teal">ST</span>000000 <span style="color:pink">TL</span>000000 <span style="color:brown">SB</span>000000 <span style="color:grey">SP</span>000000 <span style="color:gold">U1</span>000000 <span style="color:gold">U2</span>000000 <span style="color:gold">U3</span>000000 PS000000 PL000000 <span style="color:silver">R0 </span><span style="color:silver">AS </span><span style="color:silver">CO</span> 00,

where:
* <span style="color:orange">GG</span> = Gender: 00 is male, 01 is female.
* <span style="color:red">RR</span> = [[Hero race|Race]]. These are listed alphabetically, from Demon to Vampire. This has no in-game effect or visibility and the extensions preferred to default everyone to human, except [[Gelu]] who gets to be an elf.
* <span style="color:blue">HH</span> = [[Hero class|Class]]. Classes go in order of factions, and within a faction the might class is listed first. Therefore 00 = Knight, 01 = Cleric, 02 = Ranger, 03 = Druid, etc. Note, that HotA classes essentially "follow" this encoding. 
* <span style="color:green">SO</span> = First skill (ref. ID).
* <span style="color:turquoise">OL</span> = First skill's proficiency level (00 = Basic, * 01 = Advanced, 02 = Expert).
* <span style="color:teal">ST</span> = Second skill (ref. ID). If there is no second skill, instead, FFFFFFFF is used, replacing ST and the zeroes following it. 
* <span style="color:pink">TL</span> = Second skill level. If there is no second skill, 00 is used (Basic). 
* <span style="color:brown">SB</span> = Spell Book. 00 = absent, 01 = present. 
* <span style="color:grey">SP</span> = Spell (ref. ID). If no spell is present, FFFFFFFF is used instead. 
* <span style="color:gold">U1</span>, <span style="color:gold">U2</span>, <span style="color:gold">U3</span> = Starting army unit reference IDs. 
* PS = Small Portrait DWORD pointer, which leads to plain text name of the portrait in the H3bitmap.lod.  
* PL = Large Portrait, same as above. 
* <span style="color:silver">R0</span> = allowed in RoE maps by default. 00 = false, 01 = true. 
* <span style="color:silver">AS</span> = Present by default in all non-RoE maps. 00 = false, 01 = true. 
* <span style="color:silver">CO</span> = Campaign-only. 00 = false, 01 = true.
