I apologize for my lack of knowledge of the era.

You can read up on greek mythology and fables, most of it is in the Project Gutenberg. It's really worth a read. Homer wrote the Odyssey of Odysseus and the Iliad which centers on the downfall of Troja. There are lots of Heroes participating in that war. But I'd rather use characters from greek mythology like Orpheus or Heracles, both of which are a very good read. Although I have to give respect to the Dom3 devs, heroes that don't steal from existing fictional heroes too much can be far more interesting than those modelled after them - they always seem to be lacking something which doesn't do the myths justice, since you have to make decisions how you can portray a particular feature of the hero ingame.

Oh, and I think that BandarLover's initial concept of making the Fallen Angel mute is awesome. It's unfortunate that you're so picky and closed-minded about things like old age, horrors, afflictions, bad events, and generally anything that represents a flaw or a burden as a game element.

King Arthur or Robin Hood might be more thematic for Man.

Those would be cool. That got me to think of William Tell as a national hero for Ulm, maybe. A ranger hero with exceptional precision and a magical crossbow.
