Hero (character)

Hero is the central character of the !HERO: The Rock Opera franchise. He is the prophesied Messiah who would born as a man to die for the sins of the world. Born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, he and his family fled from prosecution by the deranged psychopathic District Governor Herod, and settled in the Jewish section of Brooklyn, where he grew up. At 30 years old, Hero would begin his ministry with a few disciples, Petrov and Jude, and from there became popular among the disenfranchised as he performed miracles that some would claim was the hand of God at work, although others would attribute it to magic. However, Hero would then be betrayed by Jude and handed over to I.C.O.N. to be tried and convicted of sedition against the state, which would then lead to his execution at the hands of an angry mob. A few days later, Hero would rise from the dead and thus convince the world that he was the Messiah that they have been waiting for all along.

Hero is the analog of Jesus Christ, the Messiah who is the Son of God in the Bible.

Hero is played by Michael Tait on the !HERO: The Rock Opera album.
