==Trivia==
*Heron and Seraphim have two different fathers. Heron's father is Zeus and King Periander of Corinth is Seraphim's father. Despite this, they are still half-brothers since they share the same mother. 
**This also goes for his half siblings like Apollo, Ares, Hermes, etc. Since Heron shares the same father as them.
* Heron is shown many times to be wielding the Adamantium sword in the advertisements but never once in the story he actually wields it, which leads to false advertisement.
**What's even stranger is that none of the characters seem to be bothered by Seraphim wielding it and never put any effort to retrieve it. But this can be chalked up as a simple plot hole within the story.
*Heron is the seventh bastard child that Zeus has sired from mortals.
