+### Hero Portraits
+
+Hero portraits are located in the `data\gui2\face.png` spritesheet, and are individually prepared as 45 x 53 px sprites. 
+
+There are a total of 15 masculine portraits and 9 feminine portraits. Replacing a masculine portrait slot will cause a character using that portrait to be suggested masculine hero names when the "random name" button is pressed during hero creation. And vice-versa.
+
+The bank of hero names are located in the `data\gui2\hero_names.txt` file. The first 82 names comprise the masculine names list, and the latter 82 names are the feminine names list.
