Question Which hero has the most interesting bio?

To me, it’s Deemer. I’ve always wondered just how dangerous he was and how he learned to control his powers. I’d like to know who you think is most interesting.

Ryland. First human ever to be accepted by the elder dendroids as a ranger of AvLee. Given the shorter life-span of humans, you can bet you have to be damn good at your job to achieve this. More than that, someone who befriends sentient trees can't be a terrible person.

I have no idea what’s his bio is but I always thought that Sir Mullich was a badass 😅

He had to be, in order to produce both Heroes 3 and Might and Magic 6, as well as Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines!

For me it is Ivor. Once I read his bio, I started playing with him and this is how I discovered how powerful he is. To me, he is in top 5 heroes for all times. Same goes for Jabarkas as well.

Ivor was and is my favourite character by a large margin (not only gameplay-wise). I literally got my life long nickname based on this guy. A fucking book I wrote has a supporting character called Ivor based on this guy. It’s funny to think that something like this influenced my childhood this much and helped form who I am today.

Wow, that’s amazing! Ivor had a huge impact on my Heroes 3 journey, but I never imagined someone would take that inspiration to the next level with a book and even a lifelong nickname! It’s crazy how these little things from our childhood can shape us in ways we don’t expect.

That’s pretty neat! Now imagine if you named your son Ivor lol

I won’t lie that I didn’t think about that…

I always liked Sephinroth. Just some con artist lying her way into becoming the first woman accepted as a Warlock.

Fake it till you make it.

"No woman has ever been allowed to sit on the Warlock Council."

"Well, have any of those other women been... Uh... King Gryphonheart's illegitimate daughter? Yes, that will do."

When Nimbus was a child, he had a small dog that eventually died of old age. Nimbus discovered that by sacrificing a small bird or other creature, he could resurrect his pet, a feat which he repeated each time the dog died. Little did he realize that he was already exploring the beginnings of Necromancy.

Wait…the heroes have bios???

u/guest_273 Thunderbirds Feb 25 '25

If you open the hero menu (where you can see their artifacts) and right click + hold the mouse button over their portraits their biographies pop up.

Solmyr has a really memorable one.

Dace, but I just like him cause he’s hawt!

Solymr ibn vali barad, but most interesting part of his bio is in h4.

u/ChiefChunkEm_ Jan 29 '25

Where are the bios visible? Are they official descriptions or fan made backstory

u/Eovacious (being sneaky) Jan 29 '25

Do you even play HoMM3? They're in the game, the first thing the tutorial teaches you is to open Lord Haart's hero window then click on the portait.

I played the tutorial maybe 21 years ago, I don’t remember that shit, I was like 6
