The Hero archetype is represented by the generation that comes of age during the Fourth Turning crisis. These individuals are typically born during the preceding High (a period of strong societal cohesion and optimism) and are shaped by the challenges and existential threats of the Fourth Turning. Heroes are often characterized by their sense of collective purpose, strength, and leadership. They step up to restore order and solve the crises that society faces. In the Fourth Turning, Heroes often serve as the leaders, soldiers, and innovators driving the massive changes necessary for societal survival.
