I think it's mostly a cultural thing, I assume the "hero" badge is more
important in the american world, whereas in Europe it's less common.

We could also call it "behind the scenes" and portrait some people and
the tasks they do. I think for the reader this will be even more
interesting to watch behind the curtain and decide himself if the
portaied person is a hero (instead of being told that said person is
supposed to be a hero)
