Hero is an incompetent Meister at the Death Weapon Meister Academy, known for his blonde hair and emerald green eyes, who partners with the Holy Sword Excalibur to stop being bullied.
He has striking blonde hair and emerald green eyes.
According to Maka Albarn, he has the kind of looks that would make him popular in a normal school, though whether he's conventionally handsome is up for debate.
Initially, Hero is portrayed as an incompetent and pathetic Meister, which leads to him being looked down upon and used as an errand boy by his peers.
He possesses an incredible mental strength, casually enduring the overbearing and annoying nature of Excalibur, who dominates 90% of his day.
However, his sensibilities are far from normal; he once wished for Excalibur's death and refused a promotion simply because the sword was sneezing too much.
Black☆Star describes this peculiar trait as a "reverse fetish."
In the anime adaptation, he is shown to have moments where he genuinely tries to better himself through effort.
Hero is a student and Meister at the Death Weapon Meister Academy (DWMA).
Due to his clumsy nature, he was frequently bullied and treated as an errand boy by a large number of students, including Kim Diehl and Jacqueline O. Lantern Dupré.
He was also used by Black☆Star as a practice dummy for his new techniques.
Academically, he is in the lower-middle of his class, ranking 83rd out of 130 students on the Super Written Exam.
Excalibur
To gain power and stop being bullied, Hero becomes the Meister of the legendary Holy Sword Excalibur. He is one of the very few people who can tolerate Excalibur's incredibly annoying personality.
Black☆Star
Black☆Star used Hero as a practice dummy for his techniques before Hero partnered with Excalibur. He also coined the term "reverse fetish" to describe Hero's strange personality.
Other Students
He was a gofer for many students, specifically mentioning Kim Diehl and Jacqueline O. Lantern Dupré, who took advantage of his meek nature.
His Japanese voice actor is Hiro Shimono.
A Meister's Misery
Hero began his time at the DWMA as an incompetent and clumsy Meister. This made him an easy target for bullying, and he was forced to be an errand boy for numerous students.
He was even used by Black☆Star as a living target to practice new moves on.
The Holy Sword's Partner
Tired of being looked down upon, Hero sought out the legendary Holy Sword Excalibur and decided to become his Meister. He demonstrated incredible patience by effortlessly completing the "1000 Provisions to Become a Meister," a list of absurd tasks.
Power and Revenge
After successfully partnering with Excalibur, Hero gained immense power and became virtually invincible. He used this new strength to get revenge on his former tormentors, challenging them to duels and even engaging in petty acts like peeping.
A Strange Refusal
The DWMA staff took notice of Hero's incredible ability to tolerate Excalibur, something no one else could do. A proposal was even made to promote him two ranks from a One-Star to a Three-Star Meister.
However, Hero shockingly turned down the offer, revealing his strange "reverse fetish" by stating he wished for Excalibur's death simply because the sword wouldn't stop sneezing.
Return to the Bottom
His brief time in the spotlight made him arrogant, and after giving up Excalibur's power, the bullying only intensified. He willingly returned to his life as a gofer, now enduring treatment that was even worse than before and amounted to persecution.
He is a character from the manga and anime series *Soul Eater*.
