Hero

''This article is about a Guild Wars Nightfall NPC type named Hero. However, the game often also refers to the player's character as a hero. For information on the game interface panel named Hero, see Hero Panel.''

A hero is a new kind of computer-controlled party NPC introduced in the Guild Wars Nightfall campaign. Unlike the henchmen of Prophecies or Factions, a hero is customizable by the player, including the hero's weapons and armor1, and most importantly the hero's skills.

A player can have at most three heroes under his control. It is not known at this time if the three hero limit is per instance, per character or per account.

In addition to the customizability, players will be able to command their heroes to "attack", "defend", "stay back", and so forth. A player may even take his heroes with him to PvP in a new form of competitive mission called Hero versus Hero.
