Issei would never choose Jeanne remember what she did in volume 12 with the child in the battle against Akeno, Irina and Xenovia.

In Heracle's case it is not that I am really against him in Rias's peerage but from a Valkyrie to a 'fake hero' that loses one shot to Sairaorg would seem strange unless something happened to him in the time that the Grigori has had him like becoming Armaros assistant(guinea pig) or maybe the Grigori pulling a Saji on him. I would of said no to him immediately but the whole refusing to use Chaos Break thing made me think he is a character that could redeem himself while Jeanne on the other hand never showed it in the slightest.

Issei unused pieces are 1 queen, 8 pawns, 1 knight and 1 rook. so we are missing a rook.

Well I am guessing Issei will lose some pawns for Elmenhilde beyond that I want new characters for his peerage.
