[PF2E] Iconic Characters / Heroes Sourcebook

[Windstrider]

Does such an animal exist currently? If not, is this information included in one of the other books that's out now? Or, one of the upcoming books like Lost Omens: Absalom?

In case I didn't refer to them correctly, I'm talking about those such as Merisiel, Valeros, Amiri, and so forth. Originally, I thought the upcoming Lost Omens: Legends would cover this but was mistaken.

Should this sourcebook/information not be out there presently or in one of the announced upcoming products and given Paizo's product line history, are we likely to see something like this? I'm hoping and would like to see this type of product in a similar vein to Lost Omens: Legends...Lost Omens: Icons?

If you are looking for stats for iconics, there are pregenerated iconic stats.

That will have each of them at several levels.

Pathfinder 2e Iconics pregens sheets

Also, to the OP: the iconics are not characters in the game/lore. They exist to “stand in” for the players in images for adventures and in the rule books. (It’s also easier to do art orders saying “Merisiel fighting a vampire” than saying “Female elf rogue with lot of daggers and using a rapier to fight a vampire”)
They will never be mentioned by name in books outside of example text and situations.
They are not “canon” in the game (even if they appear in some audio drama and comics).

To be fair, in the PF1 NPC Codex there were statblocks for all iconics through the levels

Honestly, I would like it if we got some statistics on them. Some of them would also make for really good companions.

And considering 'Wasps and Whispers' and the general reaction to it I can imagine that a number of people would like to see more of some of the iconics outside of the little stand-in statblock in the APs

Now, technically, Seoni, Valeros, Kyra, and Merisiel (I think) appear in

Spoiler:

Return of the Runelords as characters, but with the intent of standing in for the player characters of Shattered Star I think.

The Pathfinder Comics star the iconics. That's probably the best place to learn more about them as (fictional) people.

I discovered Pathfinder late during first edition and only managed to play a few games. Now that second edition is out, I picked up some of the books with the intention of running it for my game group in the, hopefully, not too distant future. The artwork for the Iconics is what initially lured me in, heh. I wasn't aware the Iconics weren't originally intended to be in-world characters.

To me, it's a little bit of a shame. I had hoped they would have been established Pathfinder-verse heroes with a rich lore. At least there are some bits which will have to due presently. I'll just have to hold out hope that what's out there now, will be an early precursor to them becoming more.

Thanks for all the responses!

I think the Pathfinder Comics that Joana mentioned provide a pretty rich lore background for the iconics.
