In which input files is this field used?
In DBS files (and in story-items in DBI files)
What should the field look like?
In the usual files: fixed position, or [hero:xx,xx]
In FSB files: Fourth line, between the 2nd '/' and the next ';'. This is in fact a part of the app/xapp field. If empty, [hero:--] is assumed.

What does the field contain?
Name (or abbreviation) of the main character of a story.

Sometimes, this main character is given by the writer or editor of the story. In other cases, we use the issue hero of the original print of the story.

See also the DBI hero field.

Which checks are done?
A character name (or abbreviation) should only occur once in this field.
Every name should be mentioned in the characters legend.
Which CSV field(s) use this field?
The field charactercode in table inducks_herocharacter
The field number in table inducks_herocharacter
How is the data used in the rest of INDUCKS?
If a character was not in the legend, it is added with status = "unknown".
