Here's what is shown in the Nightfall trailer. Speculation of course, but fun to see later when we have more information if they have changed these:

Margrid - Ranger
Master of Whispers - Necromancer
Zhed Shadowhoof - Elementalist
Zenmai - Assassin

The key is to look at the stances, not just the Armor.

Melonni - Dervish
Kerak - Ranger
Magrid the Sly - Ranger
Tahlkora - Monk
Master of Whispers - Necro
Attoron - Necro
Norgu - Mesmer
Dunkoro - Monk
Morgahn - Paragon
Goren - Warrior
Koss - Warrior
Zhed - Ele or Assassin (he had skills of both in gameplay video)

Say, wasn't Kerak labled Acolyte Jin in the PC gamer article?

I just hate the fact across everyone in the game/all of our characters we'll be able to pick from less than 12 across the classes - basically only *one* hero/look a class, to work with and for the most part, all new Nightfall no-names. Sure they'll get a name and its part of Nightfall, but we can go to all the chapters and we can't differentiate one whit.

Although much less controllable, the henchmen options in chp2 were much more diverse. Would it have been that difficult to let us differentiate a little more, and say only allow 1 Koss in the group - rather than allow a 'copy' have a few if not several more choices available?

Don't like the look but need the functionality?
Suck it up and you'll be seeing and hearing them for a loooong time.

Acolyte Sousuke - Elementalist (Starts with fire skills)
Acolyte Jin - Ranger (Starts with marksman and wilderness survival skills)

Everything else is speculation up to this point.
What did Acolyte Jin look like in preview? Did she look like the Ranger labled Kerak?

Ack, that would be even worse. The copy idea is fine, it would suck not to be able to bring my pimped-out Koss (with Runes), just because someone else has him. But, yeah, no limit on Hero pool would be nice.

My only guess is, this is Anets way of making players have "consequences" for their choices... something they promised in Nightfall.

I hate to admit it, but the pudgy mesmer body is great. Absolutely a riot. They should make those body types available for characters... kind of a waistline option, or a %bodyfat.

Yeah a lot of games let you chose a bit of the heft - GW chose to do that for you in the class (ie assassin = thin as a rail)

I actually like the mesmer more than most of the other choices, myself.
So 2 warrior choices and both meh to me, I liked Faction choices more there.

Oh well :b

Ah, so Zhed is an Elelmtalist after all. Sweet. I'll probably take Sousuke and keep him as a fire elementalist, and make Zhed an earth elementalist.

It looks like guildwiki has been right, I don't know how they got the info but I am pretty confident in it. Zenmai and the Acolytes are not shown. They have Zhed as mesmer... I'm glad there is only one mesmer hero, Norgu is gonna be completely overused because of how amazing he'll be at interupting.

I am liking master of whipsers.

Of course, if it was real life, I would have to deal with him carefully.

Had a nice read on the Bios of the Heros, Hopefully as we play through Nightfall with them, they will be as interesting as they read.
