-
Warden
A Knights hero of an ancient order whose origins are lost to history, sworn to defend the weak and masters of the longsword. The wiki describes them as driven by duty.
-
Conqueror
A Knights hero drawn from conscripted criminals, the most elite of whom earn the name. Strong as a battering ram and resilient as a fortress gate, they wield a flail.
-
Peacekeeper
A Knights hero known as a silent blade that keeps the peace, quick and lethal, a dancer of death with dual blades, selected from the desperate and the humble.
-
Lawbringer
A Knights hero who stands for justice where order has broken down. Their armor has no equal, its construction a secret of their order, and they carry the poleaxe.
-
Gladiator
A Knights hero who rose through the ranks of the arena, where the roar of the crowd can give an edge or seal a fate. The question is how they fare in all-out war.
-
Centurion
A Knights hero from an empire's army, whose confidence radiates to followers. Their gladius is an extension of their arm, and they use their fist as a weapon too.
-
Black Prior
A Heavy hero of the Knights faction whose lore line is "Misfortune comes uninvited." The name comes with the characters Vortiger and Erzebet.
-
Warmonger
A Knights hero who swears on the sacred stone of Horkos to bear the mask of war with honor and fealty, walking a path of glory and death.

Gryphon
A Knights hero who tells warriors she was once known by other names, like a callous demon or a foolish knight, before people who could have left her to die taught her courage.
-
Raider
A Viking hero, born with the spark of gods, whose name can summon armies. Ruthless and fearless, they wield the Dane Axe, the mightiest weapon of their ancestors.
-
Warlord
A Viking hero from a tradition that runs as deep as stone, with a shield as versatile as it is strong and a lethal sword. A leader who does not lead the charge is no leader.
-
Berserker
A Viking hero from the spirits of beasts in the vast forests, wild, free and without fear. They fight with twin axes, but their true weapon is their passion.
-
Valkyrie
A Viking hero from a warrior order that made a deal with the gods, who can earn glory for their fallen dead and decide for whom they fight.
-
Highlander
A Viking-faction hero from lands protected by ancient alliances, who join the war out of obligation. Their claymore is described as the heaviest sword ever wielded.
-
Shaman
A Viking hero who hears whispers just out of reach, louder when blood spills, and uses a hatchet and dagger to cut bodies down.
-
Jormungandr
A Heavy hero of the Vikings, available as male or female, named after the Midgard Serpent. Characters Hulda and Gretar share the name, and its lore shouts that Ragnarok comes.
-
Kensei
A Samurai hero, a sword saint and guardian of their people, trained by every great ruler since the fall. The nodachi was long thought too long for real war, until they proved otherwise.
-
Shugoki
A Samurai hero, once guardians and now like family, and the fiercest of protectors. The kanabo is a clumsy and dangerous weapon unless you possess their strength.
-
Orochi
A Samurai hero, a match for a hundred enemies, swift and strong, the truest masters of the katana, moving like shadows with lore taken from the ninja clans.
-
Nobushi
A Samurai hero who protects villages far from the castle, an elegant, aggressive fighter with the lightest of armors and the exotic naginata. She seems hardly battle-ready.
