What do you mean by a hero? There's plenty of NPCs of all races not sure what you mean

The three main characters from the first ever trailer have their own costume and two of them have made reappearances in further game trailer content. The Altmer female was in Summerset ad and the Breton Hero is in Elsweyr ad.

They're like the derplander/warrior of light in FFXIV. They are sort of vaguely actual characters, with their own agency, but they are actually just stand-ins for the player character.
They may experience things or events from a different perspective than the actual player, but the implication is that they are simply representative of any player.
It's why you never see them as actual NPCs in game, only ever in cinematics.

Now, when they start meta-fictioning them like SE did with the warrior of light (/darkness), then they'll be worth more discussion, but for all intents and purposes, they don't truly exist as their own characters in the game itself.
As such, there's no real need for each race to have a hero. The triple ouroboros means there's 3 sides, so each side gets a hero *shrugs*
The other characters you mentioned aren't the same thing. They are simply important and recurring NPCs encountered only in the game.

In terms of the cinematics:

Redguard Hero is Boldekh, the Warden from the Advertisements. He gets a name in Naryu's Journal, released with Morrowind.

Imperials have Abnur Tharn. Sure, he's not an unqualified good guy (far from it) but that sort of mixed bag is actually really typical of the Imperials of this era.


In terms of the game:
Imperial: Captain Caudex fron the Imperial City DLC eally embodies the Imperial ideal you might be more familiar with from the single player TES Games. The Drake of Blades is also fantastic, but I don't recall if her race is confirmed Imperial.

The Orc Hero is Chief Bazrag. Spoilers for Orsinium.
The Bosmer Heroes are the Green Lady and the Silvenar. Together they embody the physical and spiritual strength of the Bosmer.

Argonian...I haven't finished Murkmire yet. I have my suspicions about who I'd nominate, but I can't say for sure yet. In the base game, Walk-In-Ash is my favorite Argonian NPC, as its her sensible and wise counsel that helps keep the Pact together through the crises in Stonefalls and the Rift.

OP's talking about the three characters in the original game Cinematics. a Nord representing the Pact, a Breton, the Covenant, and an Altmer for the Dominion.

The in-game characters don't equate to the cinematic ones, you shouldn't combine them all as "Heroes". The original three were supposed to represent their Alliances, not their Race. There doesn't need to be a Hero character for each one.

Would be nice though.
Would also be nice if they finished the class costumes too. We have Warden costume (and supposedly Necro costume is coming) what about Templar costume, Dragonknight costume, Sorcerer costume, Nightblade (not Dark Brotherhood) costume?

We have Altmer Hero, Breton Hero and Nord Hero already. We need a hero for the other races. Khajiit has Razum-dar and Khamira. Dunmer have Naryu, though maybe they could get one more except they have the Tribunal as major npcs and Divayth Fyr.

Imperials are generally the bad guys, but they should still get one.

So who is the Orc hero? Who is the Bosmer hero? who is the Argonian hero? Who is the Redguard hero?

Redguard had a “player stand in” for Warden and Necromancer advertisements, and one could argue the Redguard Hero is Sai Sahan, but I’m not convinced.

Calo from Elsweyr has become some kind of Imperial Hero. He doesn’t just look super handsome, he’s quite smart and loyal, too.

If you’re brave you could rate Abnur as another Imperial Hero... and Sai as the Redguard counterpart.

BTW, what race is Cadwell?

For me there is a simple condition for some NPC to be considered "hero" and it is one of 2:
- Certain recognizable character needs to appear multiple times in trailers.
Or:
- Certain recognizable character needs to appear in a base game and some dlcs / chapter.

As far as I can tell, there is no Argonian NPC that would qualify. The only Argonian that has a chance for "main npc hero" is Captain One-Eye.

I mean it is (as far as I know) the only Argonian NPC that is later on in main story, that does not die. After main story, this NPC simply vanishes from the game and does not appear.

Please just get the team behind the cinematic trailers to make and ES movie already.

She got tired of looking for us and did the Orsinium questline herself.
