To avoid confusion, the game also has henchmen, which can be "hired" (free of charge) in every outpost. They have a fixed level for each area you go into. I am told they *can* level but any progress on them is lost once you go into an outpost. You also have no options to control them, except us a "flag all" all option that tells ALL your computer controlled aides (henchmen and heroes) to go to a certain spot. Heroes can be individually ordered around using flags and you can alter their behaviour (aggressive, actively seeking out foes; defensively, only attacking when attacked; or avoiding combat, just following you) and you can equip them, they can learn the same skills you learn and you can rearrange their skills freely just like you can do your own etc. Heroes really are great
