Alternate Heroes are cosmetics designed to replace the default Hero portrait of the class. These alternate skins do not affect the gameplay, but merely add visual diversity to the game. All of them, apart from the 1000-win alternate portrait of the default hero, come with a unique set of emotes, and plenty of them also have their own thematic card backs.

For Rogue, sixteen alternate Hero skins exist:
- Cap'n Valeera

The thumbnail on the rogue landing page (https://outof.cards/hearthstone/rogue/) is missing for this article.
Weird, we definitely had it made for it already. Either a misclick had removed it at some point or we actually never added it, but it's there now anyway.
Nice :)
