I think this discussion is not progressing, let's reach a middle point?
What I'm saying is that the Heroes that usually appear in a Beast game are the ones I described, the weaker ones with low Integrity, they are the ones that the book itself describes.
But yeah, Heracles-like Heroes exist, true champions who are actually like the Heroes from legends, the book also mentions this and even implies some famous Heroes from older times are still alive and roaming the world. They only provide a single paragraph about Heroes like this, mentioning they have different mechanics through having access to stronger Gifts.
Why does the book spend so little time describing those stronger versions of a Hero? because they don't fit the theme that the book is trying to convey. Think about it, what exactly do you think will happen when you include a Hero like that in your Chronicle? remember that Beasts are supposed to be player-controlled characters! however, a supplement can expand on stronger Heroes, which would be cool, yeah, it would be excellent to have some other end goal for Heroes other than simply retiring or dying, I can see those kind of Heroes working with different stories, different themes.
