Hero

The Hero is an NPC that walks around East Ardougne wearing what appears to be rune armour platebody and platelegs but is a slightly different colour, it looks a bit like blurite. He wields a rune longsword and square shield. The Hero can be pickpocketed by players with level 80 or greater Thieving, which gives 275 experience plus coins or other items.

The Hero is often present near the marketplace in East Ardougne. Unlike Guards, Knights of Ardougne and Paladins in the marketplace, the hero does not attack players when they steal from market stalls, unless the player has recently stolen from the stall and attempts to trade with the stall owner. This hero becomes a prime target for pickpocketing once a player reaches level 80 Thieving. He is always near a bakery stall, so the player can easily steal food to heal from failed pickpocketing attempts. A successful pickpocket attempt usually gains 200-300 coins, so high level thieves can make thousands of coins fairly quickly.

Trivia

 * The armour that heroes wear appears to be a lighter colour than standard rune armour although it used to bear the same resemblance in RuneScape Classic. Heroes will never drop this armour, and is not obtainable anywhere else.
 * After the Animation Pack 1 Update, their longswords look like iron, not rune.
 * There is a possibility their armour is made from blurite as it at first appears to be rune, but is a lighter shade of blue.
