If an older guide, video or alliance chat mentions Aria, Kage or Magnus and you can't find them in your roster, that's why. An update renamed nine heroes. The in-game notice from the Chamberlain lists every change.

Why some skill names don't match the hero
A few skill names still reflect the old identities. Joan of Arc's active skill, for example, is called Iceni's Fang, which sounds more like Boudica. The skills work exactly as described, so go by what the skill does, not its name.
Don't mix up the two Leons
Another hero is still called Leon, the "Fearless Knight". That's a separate starter hero from the one renamed to Leonidas. If someone says "Leon" and means the Spartan, they're using the old name.
