Faction Heroes

I have been watching the trailers again (especially the one that is 26 minutes long, combines a bunch of them together). And, was just wondering, what classes are these heroes? The only one that seems to use any form of non-weapon abilities is the Elven Hero (perhaps why she's the only one that lived? lol), but even the ones she uses, I saw her use abilities that are VERY similar to the Destro staff abilities, but straight from her hand (but some resemble dark magic abilities from Sorcerer, perhaps). Otherwise, I cannot make heads or tails for what classes these people are.

Anyone have good ideas on what they are? Or, are they class-less, and just use weapon abilities? They don't seem like anything that a player could ever make, not even close.

    Breton Hero- Zombie like Nightblade probably
    Nord Hero- I think could be a two hander Dragonknight but he just seems to heavy and light attack when we see him so who really knows.
    Elvin Hero- is some type of sorceress but almost none of her abilities shown match what we have in game she makes the magic class in ESO look epic when in reality its lacking. She's in a class of her own lol

    The Elven Hero has access to the much desired One Hand and Spell line and she's flaunting it in our faces that we cant have it. Please ZOS, give us a true Spellsword! Dual wielding lightning sorc with wards is probably the closest you can get.

    The Nord starts off dual wielding word and axe, then decides "Screw the meta, I'm going 2 hander and I'm gonna beat Mannimarco with my awesome DPS." And that works out for him about as well as you'd expect. Clearly, he needed a bow back bar. I'd go Stam DK with this guy.

    Breton dude is a true stamina DD, all bow and dual world and squishy AF. He really should have ground AP for vigor while he was running around Cyrodiil. Probably a nightblade, though Stam Sorc could be be effective.

    Pretty sure;

    High elf sorcerer, AD
    Breton nightblade, DC
    Nord Dragonknight, EP
    NB enthusiastic:
    1. Woodhippie stamblade - DW hard-hitter / PvE
    2. Know-it-all elf Magblade - Healer / PvE & PvP
    3. Hate-them-all elf Magblade - Destrostaff AoE monster / PvE
    4. Cyrodiil-Refugee stamblade - Stamina Tank / PvE

    Go dominion or go home

    Nightblade-Hipster. I played Nightblade before it was cool - from 1.5 onwards.

    I was guessing DK for the Nord, and NB for the Breton, and Sorc for the Elf... but, that's based on what I want to see them as, not based on what they do =/ Wonder how come ZOS has chosen to not show us heroes that we could actually emulate in any way? Is it because of something dumb? Or, maybe that players would cry out, saying, "Uh uh, NO WAY! That ability does not do that!" or can't do that? Just makes me look at the trailers as pure eye-candy, and not even related to the game.

    The Breton turns into a Necromancer (class we don't have, and class change is impossible), Elf uses the afore-mentioned, much sought after, "One Hand and Spell line", and the Nord somehow seems to be a real beast using absolutely no abilities aside from those found on the DW tree, and even then, only 2 or 3 of them, while wearing what looks like heavy armor...

    It's like this is some other game, completely unrelated to ESO lol, but does anyone see them using actual class skills that we can use to identify them? I know what my brain says, "Breton acts like every NB I ever saw, so, even without NB skills, he must be a NB" (etc for other two), but, he could probably just as well be a templar =/

    My understanding was that the faction heroes don't actually represent any particular in-game class because they were created before the game was available to play. They're classic archetypes (mage, warrior, thief).
