Biography[]
Birth[]
Hero's time of birth is unknown. In 1999, he claims to Tom Riddle that "Meldh" is "an old word from his youth". The word may be "*meldʰ-" ("lightning" or "to beat, pound, grind") from the Proto-Indo-European languageW, dated 4500 BC to 2500 BC. Riddle recognizes this as a lie and Hero admits to being significantly younger.
