Essence of a Hero.
First, a hero must not desire rewards and compensation, Contemplation: they forgot, Result: abhorrence, condemnation.

Second, free from vice, those who would adopt the name will drop their fame and seal the pact in the act of ultimate sacrifice.

The Righteous and the pure in heart shall see my face and live, but lucre worshipers endure, unpardoned, i will not forgive.

No Pillar deigns to walk afraid while hero shills are slain.
