Backer heroes

Backer heroes are pre-generated, non-random heroes created by the Kickstarter backers of Darkest Dungeon. All backer heroes come with one aggravated negative quirk and two locked positive quirks that are always the same for any unique hero name. Additionally, every hero has certain skills unlocked by default (Locked skills can be unlocked in the guild and survivalist's tent as all other heroes).

Claiming backer heroes
Backer heroes can be claimed and added to the roster by entering the Stage Coach, pressing the Enter key and typing the name of the desired hero.

Though the fixed negative quirk can be removed via the Sanitarium and all other factors work the same as any other character, the hero's name and outfit cannot be changed.

Note: Some heroes names are cap-sensitive.
