The Hero Faction (英雄派 Eiyū-ha) was formerly the second-largest faction of the Khaos Brigade led by Cao Cao, the descendant of Cao Cao from the Chinese novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the one who betrayed Ophis. After their dissolvement during the Demonic Beast Riot, they were reorganized by Cao Cao, who was acting as Indra's vanguard, becoming the subordinates of the Hindu God.

Summary

The Hero Faction was one of the factions in Khaos Brigade that consisted of solely Humans. All members of the Hero Faction were either Sacred Gear, Holy Sword, Demon Sword, and/or Longinus wielders.

The motto of the Hero Faction was to fight and defeat "evil beings" such as Devils, Fallen Angels, and Dragons that bring harm to Humans. The Hero Faction possessed a large number of Sacred Gear wielders who were either abducted and brainwashed, or followed willingly. Many of these members, however, were sacrificed in battle during the Hero Faction's attempts to force them to achieve Balance Breaker. All of those who didn't reach Balance Breaker were eventually captured and later died as a result of Ophis' snakes destroying their Sacred Gears, while those who did achieve Balance Breaker were called back before they could be caught.

The Hero Faction went inactive after the events of the Demonic Beast Riot due to the loss of their leaders. Indra sends their most powerful members (Cao Cao, Leonardo, and Georg) to the Realm of the Dead, taking all of their Longinus from them. Jeanne and Heracles were captured by the Devils and Fallen Angels for interrogation, while Siegfried was the only main member of the Hero Faction who died in battle.

The Hero Faction reformed during the Azazel Cup as Cao Cao once recruited its former members to form Team Spear of Heavenly Emperor. Due to Cao Cao acting as Indra's vanguard, the Hero Faction became Indra's subordinates. As a result of possessing great power, Indra offered the Hero Faction's cooperation to Team DxD, but due to their past crimes, they could only be added as provisional reserve members. Acting as a member of DxD, Cao Cao often acts alongside Tobio Ikuse's Slash/Dog Team, investigating events from the shadows.

In True Volume 3, the Hero Faction help defend Kyoto from Erebus' and the Alliance of Hell attack.

In True Volume 4, the Hero Faction attacked the Alliance of Hell's hideouts to prevent them from gathering reinforcements in London.
