I just thought of another possibility while watching a certain mini that I acquired the other day:
Candysmith Marley.
Think about it. Why else would somebody who only appears once a year as a collector at a Wintersday event (and, under another name, as a vendor of pink dye) have gotten her own mini? Character minis have _always_ previously been assigned to heroes and to NPC's who are, for one reason or another, important to the game's storyline. It hardly makes sense to have one of this year's "grape" minis be a very minor NPC unless a bigger role is being planned for her. (She'd certainly fit the "unexpected" and "doh!" quotients!) Also, since Marley has no defined profession, except "collector", it'd be easy to make her a multi-profession hero.

It would be cool if there was a way to get at least 7 heroes of each, just try try crazy builds with all characters of the same profession.
I always wanted to try what a party with elementalists only could do. I bet they'll be invincible.

I must be really out of the loop, there's going to be a 7 hero update?
Obey The Cat
Yes - and my hope is, that they just remove the cap. So even 11 heroes would be possible.

A hero which can change profession will just cause everybody to use 4 necro's anyway..
I rather have a new rit or mesmer..
I actually could care less about a new hero, the 7 hero party's are what I'm looking out for!

I think it could be a Seer.
There is one laying on a table on the secret lab during WiK. Who knows, maybe Blimm and Zinn are doing something with it.

After reading the comments from the people on the test crew, my bet is on Mad King Thorn. It seemed pretty ridiculous at first, but we just did quests to get him to the mortal world, so it would definitely be a /facepalm, yet completely unexpected moment.
I still really want an envoy... Emissary Heleyne or Courier Torivos, please!

My toon is on a thirst strike until we get a Margonite Paragon hero.
As Anet watches my character wither away from a lack of alcohol I hope they'll see the error in their ways...

Dang teasers.

I almost want to say I think it may be Evennia...but I hope not.
Necromas
If it's just Miku that's gonna be a little disappointing, don't think I've ever had a desire to take an assassin hero.

What I wish, is not a new hero by appearance.
It would be fun if we coulld use our pets with their own skill bars.
Maybe even give some of them a base professions.
The Cat like, and wolfs as a Warior
Spiders As rangers.
Birds as Paragon.
Well ...was just thinking :P

My guess is an asuran hero.
We have all the others, deld, norn.
Should be a caster so a mes.

An asuran hero? Like Vekk? I never noticed that we had a Deldrimor dwarf hero.
Tommy's
We have a Dwarf -> Ogden Stonehealer
Nerel
That's not a dwarf, it's a stout monk... real dwarves have big beards and battle axes.
aspi
The only heroic deed from Ogden I have ever seen is standing in every inch of lava/fire he can find.
Milennin
Undead Prince Rurik.
Sprites
margonite mesmer?
Spookii
Meybe Thackery?
Evennia would be... whiney. And we don't need any more monks. t_t

I know an envoy is too much to hope for, but I can't think of any cooler looking character in Cantha. Togo's ghost is really the only other one I can think of that we'd be really familiar with.@Spookii: We're not going to be getting an assassin or a ranger, so that excludes Miku and Thackeray... Unless, like someone else said, he changes his primary to a Paragon, but as far as I know, that would be the first time in GW history that someone changed their already well-established primary, so it doesn't seem likely.

Listen Anet,we want Thorn as a hero!!!

It would be pretty cool, though.

Gah! Someone we already know?
Captain Langmar? (The last thing I want is another useless warrior hero, but whatever.)
Maybe Salma? I'd like to see her over Evennia.

I don't think there's going to be a chitload of NEW heroes with the 7 hero update when it comes. I think Anet will believe everyone should be very happy just having the ability to play with the heroes we have now. What is it 25? 26? Lots of choices and party makeups out of that many and I don't think Anet wants to really open a can of worms with someone creating an 8 elementalist party lol or 8 Discord Necros omg the power of those two groups would just be too overpowering.
Exhibit A
There's going to be one new hero with the GW: Beyond content. That's been confirmed.
Nerel
And the new hero that we wouldn't be expecting is... Adam.
Drelias Melaku
@Nerel: I lol'd.
@Charlie: I lol'd at that, too.
I'm just really hoping that it's a mesmer, ritualist, or variable primary.
